To a patriot, no asset is as valuable as U.S. citizenship. People who renounce their American citizenship should be allowed to visit, but there should be a tax of $ 20,000.00 per day and any violation of any state or federal law should result in permanent expulsion.

People who turn against their own country cannot be trusted by anyone.

People who turn against their own country cannot be trusted by anyone.

And if your country turned against you first what do you do? It sounds like,in your opinion,those Jews who were smart enough and lucky enough to get out of Germany in the 30's are traitors as well.Osama Obama & Friends are my sworn enemies.They despise me and I gladly return the favor.If their views are,in fact,supported by the majority of Americans then that means my country has turned against me.

It's not rocket science we're talking here.

Yes and no. It really depends upon the country and that for which it stands.

People who turn against their values and ideals, however, cannot be trusted by anyone. Too bad we keep re-electing them!

Um, the government has turned against patriots, not visa versa.

Is that you Joe Biden?

"People who turn against their own country cannot be trusted by anyone. "

Your statement contains a very large assumption. Perhaps you intended to make it, perhaps not.

Expatriots who've renounced - that I know of - have not "turned against their country. They would tell you that their country has turned against them.

I've not renounced and have no plans to do so, but I can assure you that my country has turned against all producers - in fact, all citizens - in fact, it:

has imposed usurious taxes without representation
has squandered the revenue that comes it
has debased our currency so that it is difficult to make it on one salary without becoming a ward of WalMart
has made us into a nation of potential terrorists that must be radiated, has circumvented the Bill of Rights
has violated our privacy through intercepting our phone calls and emails without legal justification
has ruled by fiat, instead of law
hs done away with Habeas Corpus rights, if they declare you don't qualify
has made asset forfeiture/seizure without court order or crime commonplace
has impoverished our nation through national debt that cannot be repaid
has driven business from our shores and with it, jobs
has passed so many laws, regulations and requirements by decree that no citizen knows if he is in violation of the law
AND SO MUCH MORE

The idea of America lives on, but in practice, the very foundations that created our nation and were enshrined in our Constitution are being eviscerated daily.

That some leave in pursuit of the original dream of America: freedom of opportunity, privacy, reasonable taxation, pursuit of happiness, in places where it yet lives, does not surprise me.

Nor do I condemn them for pursuing the dream of America while it grows dim here on our shores. My relatives did the same. Those who came with the Mayflower group, and those who fled totalitarianism in Europe during WWI.

Are you drunk? Since your spelling and sentence structure are looking fairly intact, I conclude you’re just a liberal idiot who is too slow too realize who you are.
