Somehow, I suspect that his taxes, along with the taxes of the people he employed have MORE than erased any “debt.”
Funny that they never seem to feel this way about illegal aliens and their anchor babies, though.

This was entirely predictable.
You can trust the communists to be communists,
after all.
It just wouldn’t occur to them to change the tax policy that led this man to drop his citizenship.
No! He did it to avoid their confiscatory tax rates, so he needs to be vindictively punished.

"....but he has chosen to cast it aside and leave U.S. taxpayers with the bill."What an amazing statement! This implies that he has stolen funds from some program that the treasury supports. I don't even know what to think about these pols.

this has zero chance of passing.
Doesn't matter. The fact they even floated the idea just shows what reprehensible tyrants they are. News flash: we are seen as parasites on the noble beast of government.

“Mr. Saverin has benefited greatly from being a citizen of the United States but he has chosen to cast it aside and leave U.S. taxpayers with the bill. Renouncing citizenship to simply avoid paying your fair share is an insult to middle class Americans and we will not accept it.”
So how many services did this man use and what bill did he stick America with? I doubt he used any social services and
the Senators forget it is his money not theirs.

So what is the new motto of Superman now? “Lying, injustice and the Marxist way?” Reminds me of the original Saturday night live when Dan Akroyd played “Ubermann”...Which was what would have happened if Supermans comet from Krypton landed in Nazi Germany instead of the US midwest. He would have been known as “Ubermann” working for he Nazis, using his X-ray vision to look at the groins of men to see if they are Jews.

1. Ron Paul was right. The walls are going to be used to keep us in.
2. Who’d want to come here anyway?

“...will be presumed to have renounced their citizenship for tax avoidance purposes. The individual will then have an opportunity to demonstrate otherwise to the IRS by meeting specific IRS requirements. ... But if the IRS finds that an individual gave up their passport for substantial tax purposes...”
IF?

Casey Jr. is as dumb as a rock.
Amazing how, with all the other problems Congress could tackle, two senators have so much time to waste on something this stupid. Why don’t the morons maybe fix the tax code? Of course, knowing them, they would just make the tax code worse.
To: Theoria
Bobby Casey is an empty-headed empty suit who got elected on his old mans name here in PA. Tom Smith is the tea-party backed conservative running against him in PA. GO TOM.

"Mr. Saverin has benefited greatly from being a citizen of the United States but he has chosen to cast it aside and leave U.S. taxpayers with the bill. WHAT "bill"??? He helped create something that didn't exist before. There was no government subsidy or porkulus payment to Facebook. There is absolutely no cost to the American taxpayers. What an imbecile.

Excellent point! It would make more sense for the CEO of Solyndra or Obama to renounce U.S. citizenship, leave the country and leave the taxpayers with their bills to settle.
Although, I suppose, it might actually be worth it just to have them gone.

Just like the old Soviet Union, you were not allowed to leave unless you left everything of value behind.
The hallmark of a free country is that people are allowed to leave and come back as they please.
Otherwise it's not a free country at all.
Dictatorships tend to lock people in, by various means.
Physical or economical, holding family or property hostage, or plain vindictiveness.
This is not a good sign.
Our leaders have become rulers who view people as theirs to control and private wealth is subject to confiscation.

“Next they will build a wall to keep the inmates from escaping to more freedom loving countries.”
Everyone laughed when Ron Paul said that if they built a wall on our border, it would be used to
keep us controlled... I did too. Now, I’m not so sure he wasn’t correct on that.

Guilty until proven innocent, huh? What a wonderful country we live in with such wonderful "leaders" who "understand" the Constitution.
