“The act of renouncing U.S. citizenship should not ‘diminish your personal identity’. If you want to think of yourself as an American that’s fine. Nobody can take that away from you. This is important. Why? Because the Obama ‘Witch Hunt’ against U.S. citizens abroad has forced people to reevaluate many of their fundamental assumptions. Few Americans abroad still view the United States as ‘that great citadel of freedom and justice’. Few Americans abroad see themselves as ‘tax cheats’ because they have offshore accounts.”
