Hi ATS Co founder of Face Book is giving up his citizenship? How odd. Most folks are flocking to the shores of America hoping to become citizens some day.
I guess this is about money. I am not sure how it all works. I wonder if he can ever get it back at another time.
What is the reaction of the folks that have accounts on Face Book.
I do not use Face Book so I really do not know much about it
Cheers ATS ljb.

The USA treats expats like criminals. If he stayed in Singapore he'd have to pay double taxes (American and Singapore) even though he doesn't live nor plan on living in the USA. If down the road he decides to stay in Singapore the USA would then leverage a massive "exit" tax on him, taxing ALL assets as if he "sold" them.

There has been a dramatic increase in American renouncing their citizenship..

Singapore is like the Monaco of Asia. It's a former British colony, now city-state, clean & beautifully maintained -- very unlike most Asian cities (except those in Japan). Low crime rate.

Singapore has very strict immigration standards (like Switzerland) -- they don't let just anyone in.

I read that a number of rich Americans fled right after Obama was elected. They recognized Obama as a socialist. It's not surprising that even more are fleeing since Obama has been beating the "Raise Taxes on the Rich" drum.

After countless examples, the socialists & communists refuse to face that their economic policies drive wealth out of a nation and ensure that all the citizens will be EQUALLY poor -- except the party bosses.

Like austerity measures apply to Obama and his cronies. They will maintain a lavish lifestyle on the taxpayer's dime.

Hi roc,
Interesting. I would think that if the tax laws were not so screwed up things like this would be different???
They almost force honest folks to take it off shore just like the hoods.
thanks ljb

i am on facebook
this will not impact users whatsoever
this probably is about taxes, money, as you suggested

i am surely not among those flocking to the shores hoping to become a citizen.
Since Dubya bush destroyed civil liberties I even refuse professional missions if they require me traveling to the US. as i refused to be in the hand of a bunch of undereducated morons in a uniform that bully people around.
I do love my american friends, however. And i'm sure most of the american people are just fine people.

Taxation is just the tip of the iceberg in regards to renouncing citizenship. It is the horrid and most unconstitutional 14th Amendment that is the true problem. While the 13th Amendment was a necessary act of legislation to put an end to the heinous and criminal act of abrogation and derogation of slaves unalienable rights, Congress then turned around and enacted the 14th Amendment inviting us all to become slaves of a federal government. The 14th Amendment most arrogantly presumes to grant rights to people who've always had them. Agreeing to citizenship is tantamount to either express, or tacit agreement that "civil rights" have more lawful authority than the unalienable and natural rights that all people everywhere have had since the moment they took their first breath.

You are misguided...the only people that are flocking to the US now are the undesirables. I wont mention which nations, but some of you will know.

He knows that the US will be one big JAIL for its citizens soon....NO RIGHTS FOR US CITIZENS and the constitution that people still think exists will be used by Obama to wipe his butt....Literally!!! It will be reality tv viewing. The US will be the new reality tv show....millions to be made watching its citizens trying to escape the FEMA camps!!
