Eduardo Saverin, the billionaire co-founder of Facebook Inc. (FB), renounced his U.S. citizenship before an initial public offering that values the social network at as much as $96 billion, a move that may reduce his tax bill.
Facebook Co-Founder Saverin Gives Up U.S. Citizenship Before IPO - Bloomberg

Sounds like another Buffet liberal...promote higher taxes for everyone else, but dodges them himself. How typical.

For the global elite citizenships are like candy you simply pick the one you like the best. You can choose more than one.

He comes from a wealthy Brazilian family how did he get citizenship in the first place? Was his mom a birth tourist?

Just another thread where wingnuts are telling the exact opposite of what is going on.

The "Liberals" are tying to shut down the tax loopholes on Billionaires evading taxes.

The "right wingers" are supporting the corporate owned GOP which is trying to keep the loopholes in place.

So the "billionaire tax cheats" won't leave us.

There are three threads right now started by right wing lemmings warning us that billionaire tax cheats are leaving us because we are applying the law too strictly....LOL

When are independent voters going to get i through their head voting for right wingers is about the most harmful thing you can do for your family and country?

What are these loopholes you speak of? Aren't all tax rates and laws applied to every single person? Has Mr. Saverin broken any laws that should label him as a cheat?

Another Barack Obama Crony in the bag and on the record seeking to avoid taxes. How many campaign dollars from Facebook will Barack Obama renounce and return?

You need to look up the definition of "tax loophole". Tax loopholes are certainly not available to everyone evenly. Mainly the rich use lawyers, and off shore corporations, on paper only, to skirt the spirit and letter of tax law. They find flaws in tax codes, totally unintentional by the legislation, and exploit them, to get out of paying taxes.

Is it wrong if I read this aloud in the grating voice of an ex-?

Perhaps, but voting for left wingers is only slightly less worse if not just as bad: right wing parasite vs left wing parasite: who shall win? Who cares?

They most certainly ARE available to everyone evenly. If you don't qualify, it's your fault. You could start by getting a job or starting a business instead of posting on forums all day long. Not too many tax loopholes for that.
