    Who are the reGUfees?


    btw

    The number of citizens and long-term residents cutting their official ties to Uncle Sam jumped more than 20% last year to 4,279, according to a CNNMoney analysis of the latest government data. It's a trend that's been increasing in recent years. Many of those severing links are Americans living overseas who are tired of dealing with complicated tax paperwork, a headache that has worsened since new regulations came into effect.
    Eighteen times as many Americans renounced their citizenship or long-term residency in 2015 compared with 2008. Last year was the third record-breaking year in a row.

    Rocket that is old rich people. They want to go because they don't want to be taxed. Show me where young people are doing it. I know some Philippino's go home with their pension to die in a third world country. Cwd I have represented my country by serving her. I don't need donald to save me. I have a couple of friends called smith and wesson that will blast any of those refugees that try shit. But that is what is great about the state of texas. You screw with us and you get lead!

    It's not just old people Chico. Lots of young entrepreneurs are doing it also.

    Smart money is following your big corporations. Even a freaking Burger King moved to Canada to avoid the tax man.

    That is because the big wigs have gotten greedy. These corps use cheap labor rates which is shameful. They answer to share holders. There is something inherently wrong when a company can make a profit but would rather lay off people to make a bigger profit!

    Constant overspending in US created a very unhealthy tax environment...and not just for corporations, but for regular people as well.
    You have an Engineer who works in Silicon Valley, who makes 130K/year and pays close to 40% in taxes...and that's on top of him living in the most expensive State in US. Some of those guys that I know are barely surviving with that kind of salary.

    I know a dude who works for VMWare and makes a bit over 100K and lives in his fukking car...How ridiculous is that?

    Until US has some broad tax reform, big corporations will continue to go elsewhere. All that cash is sitting idle overseas, and companies can’t bring it home to reinvest or pay dividends unless they pay the taxes they already tried to avoid.

    Yeah I hear what your saying,do you reckon they'll be able to fix it if Trump came in to power,he's probably the best person to have as far as Big Buisness goes,thats been his bread and butter most of his adult life.

    There is going to be a false flag in next 3 months which will get him elected.Than he will either get impeached or killed. He said he is going to audit the fed and the last person who did that was kennedy.

    Us foreigners seem to have a more romantic view of the South than it seems like Americans do sometimes.

    Planning a road trip for a few weeks next year and going to do about 1500 miles around the South.

    Will be returning from Bash via Atlanta so will start there and thinking a kind of circle heading Sth West to Talladega, then up to Memphis across to Nashville, see a friend in Knoxville then over to Charlotte to check out a NASCAR race shop and the HOF, then down to Charlstown SC, then down to Daytona for the 500 where I am meeting a few people. Depending on time and inclination I may even drive all the way over to new Orleans as it's Mardi Gras that week. or might amble back to Atlanta some other way, through the middle of Alabama maybe. Not really locked in. Just going to land in ATL and pick up a nice rental car and do what I feel like from there

    Might even leave right after the 500 and fly to Vegas and spend the last week or so there.

    Looking forward to it. Never been to the States before.
