    would be interesting though to compare how many people became citizens here compared to those who opted out.

    Has there been anyone who renounced their citizenship while working overseas and then became a citizen again after retiring (back in the States)? I wonder how much luck you would have at trying that.

    3,000 per year over 100,000 years is 300 million, which is the entire population of the US! There will be no one left!

    How about if we all pay our taxes 100,000 years from now?

    I have no problem with any folks who want to emmigrate to another country. I have serious doubts that the govt here could trace Chinese assets from expats though with the exception of Hong Kong. Especially through small local banks where english is non existant and an abacus is the calculator.

    Over 40, 000 American Military Servicemen have denounced their citizenship since the year 2000. Although nearly all of them were working abroad, taxes played no part in their decision.

    3, 000 is a 2 day supply of illegal immigrants from mexico, and everybody says they are hard workers who know their place and keep their mouth shut.

    I'm at a loss as to why you don't like this swap.
