Political Discussion and Debate / Re: Americans are giving up citizenship in record numbers

Can you blame them? "rich" people are demonized on a daily basis. They are nearly taxed to death and are blamed for everything that is wrong with the country and expected to pay for every solution that isn't really a solution.

The Economist commissioned a study in 2014 of emigration from the wealthiest nations in the world.
Not only has the pace in the USA accelerated since 2000; more importantly over the past decade the Net worth
of those permanently exiting exceeds some $2,000,000, on average;  per our Dept. of Treasury Statistics.
Most critically, these come from the entrepreneur/inventor class rather than the usual crony capitalist types.
But at least they're making room for all those fruit pickers, ain't they?????

Oh, by the way, the FISA Section 702 Snooping Act?
It is set to expire on Dec. 31 and Congress has yet to send Trump a working Bill.

Congress still does bills? I thought they passed a bill stating they no longer have to write or pass bills because it's really exhausting and cuts into their fundraising and TV time.

No one would stop them either, the only difference is, you won't be subsidizing their BS plan.
They can still pay out the ass if they want, it'll just cost them more that's all.

You know as well as I no one is going to want to pay for something they once got for free and they're going to bah like sheep to their Congress critters to keep it that way. It's this selfish mentality that's dooming healthcare in this country  :cursing:

Those who do not learn from the mistakes of history are doomed to repeat them.


Your a day late and a dollar short.

Edmund Burke (1729-1797) said "Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.". George Santayana (1863-1952) said "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.". The full quote from The Life of Reason (1905-1906) by George Santayana is as follows:
