“Do these folks sound like tax evaders? Well, they do to ‘homelanders’ and their congressional representatives. Also, don’t forget that the United States is one of only a handful of countries that tax citizens or permanent residents wherever they reside. Expatriates don’t get a lot of sympathy on Capitol Hill – or on Main Street America. If you expatriate, you won’t bleed to death, and despite mainstream American attitudes, you probably won’t get burned at the stake. But there are significant consequences – even if the rationale upon which they are based is as misguided as assuming that the sun and stars revolve around the Earth.”
