If they renounce their citizenship just to avoid taxes, they weren't very good citizens to begin with.

I may end up moving out of the country when I retire but I will NOT renounce my citizenship.

I think some crusty old white men did that back in the 1770's....they weren't very good citizens either.

I don’t think most of them are renouncing their US citizenship just to avoid taxes. The IRS is demanding so much information from citizens and their spouses that the spouses who are not American citizens refuse to comply saying it’s none of the IRS’s business how much money they make. Which leaves the US citizen with two choice.....Divorce which is extreme or face possible criminal charges and major fines back in the US. In certain situations it’s a no brainer.
