Record number gave up U.S. citizenship or long-term residency in 2014

Was kingnobody one of them? I hope he doesn't think he can hide if he is part of the financial turmoil. I remember him asking me about it here and the curiosity sounds like a guilty conscious. Fear not though Justice knows no borders :)

The record of expatriates has been set and broken for 4 of the past 5 years. Almost all of them have been the extremely wealthy too.

What that article failed to mention is the expatriate tax that goes along with this. The tax is 5% of your net worth, calculated by a mark-to-market method (unlike fair market value for nearly all other IRS net worth calculations), which makes the tax a little higher. And that means that if you have any income in the US, the IRS requires any agent who is acting on your behalf to withhold 30% of that income for federal income tax, and if you are due a refund, you have to file a 1040NR.

What this means is, we now have more people than ever who not only left the country for good, but also have taken all of their money and investments too. That's bad when the average expatriot is worth in the tens to hundreds of millions of dollars, or more.

You only wish. At least you have accepted the fact that I am a US citizen.

I asked you why you think the wealthy would have a guilty conscious. You never answered, like how you never answer any of my questions. I guess you are afraid of education and knowing the actual truth, and rather stick with your imaginary "truth."

Oh, by the way. If, for some rare and bizarre chance you become President, and you were to actively attack expatriated citizens, you know that would be an act of war to the countries they live in, right?

But what am I talking about? You still are under the delusion that the Federal Reserve devalued the currency, which pretty much everyone else of importance says otherwise.

Kansas governor rescinds order protecting gay state workers

Finally gay people working at the Gap !

Agreed. But the current administration does not care.

R and P is starting to look like the Huff Post with all these social issues.

Next thing you know I'm going to write an article about how to lose a woman in five seconds.

Tell her you are a furry.

That's just BS right there. No country should be able to tax income that wasn't actually earned in that country.

I'm not sure that will work.... Women's standards seem to be dropping like a rock in clear water.... hell blazed found... or paid... or kidnapped... someone to marry him and even kingnoobie had a girlfriend that one time...

We need a FFXIAH (terrible) dating advice column.

On the first date ask her position on the gay fascist liberal agenda.

I've been to Kansas the amount of sunflowers there is overwhelming.

First date tell her you have Hep C but are working on getting A and B.

Fiance. It went that far, then she got cold feet.

Money can only go so far in love it seems. I keep hearing otherwise though....

Maybe I haven't found the right golddigger yet.

Plenty of women out there just have to find one crazier than you are.

Speaking for myself at least.

If she has some sort of emotional or mental issue take advantage of it.

Basically I'm saying to date women that were just released from the mental hospital.

Tell us how you really feel.

I suggest you read some Huff Post king they basically tell you exactly what women want. They don't want men.

Well, if we're to believe both of them, they both have money.

And if most of the forum's conservatives are to be believed, money is all that matters, because money equals self-worth.

Ipso facto, they have the most desirable quality in a man.

And that's not a direct attack on either of them, for the record.

Just upon the concept that your money is what determines your worth as a human.

I suspect the mine shaft isn't long enough...

That's a good way to get your penis cut off when you fall out of her good graces.

Having money is the most important thing right next to being a feminist.

Modern medicine has made that a small inconvenience.

"First you get the money, then you get the power, then you get the woman."

It's true look at Zuckerberg.

Would any sane woman date him if he didn't have billions of dollars?

There are probably a couple of chicks in ukraine desperate enough to marry them for money... just have to widen the net bro... Sartana is probably nice this time of year... if you don't mind weather forecasts that include heavy snow and hail (of bullets/gunfire)

I suggest Russian mail order brides. They don't speak much English and are desperate. My type of woman.

way to kill all of lordgrim's hope....

Perfect woman:




Close second:
You can teach her English and she is a Leo !

Seems to be a lot of Asian women in the Ukraine...

I highly doubt I will sink low enough to get a mail order bride....
