Our dear Marxist leader's polices are forcing the successful to leave the country.

Gee...I wonder what will happen when the Obama leech crowd has no one to pay for their Obama phones.

I'm proud to be an American and not going anyplace. Politics come and go. Meh.

Wow, that's a big number. That would warrant writing a book about.

The rich are already global.. they can take their money anywhere and avoid paying Obama any more taxes.... Obama will chase the rich away with his communist marxist ideology. The poor will suffer because of it.

the RICH don't have to leave the US to avoid Obama taxes! Just ask Mitt Romney and his 14% tax rate!

The only ones who can leave because they are facing higher taxes are those that actually do not work in this country, but instead have passive income, etc., or will continue to have business presence in the United States because they want the benefit of the US economy, its working court and legal system, business protections and regulations.... but don't want to have to actually PAY for it. Those D-bags can go to hell.



Sorry, but almost anywhere in the world that's worth living has higher taxes than the United States.

Sure you can live in Thailand for $10/day or something..... but no thank you. Y'all go have fun with that.

From the link:
Quote:
people left the United States, according to the Federal Register... (The Federal Register doesn’t make note of why these people give up their citizenships; we can only guess there are financial considerations in many situations.) Among them, one of the most high-profile examples was Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, who filed to relinquish his U.S. citizenship in September 2011; Facebook had its initial public offering in May 2012. Saverin, a Brazil native, had already been living in Singapore for three years after emigrating to the U.S. in 1998. He could reportedly save as much as $100 million in taxes because Singapore does not tax capital gains.
good, let him go and live in a repressive nation that canes prisoners.
