Facebook Co-Founder Gives Up U.S. Citizenship

[mrjarrell]

AS the Facebook IPO approaches, he doesn't want to be raped by our tax laws. Can't say I blame him, or the many others who've given up their citizenship over the last few years because of onerous taxation. Especially those folks who live overseas and are taxed twice on their income.

You can't fault a slave for trying to run away.

Well then he must not be very patriotic!

Right Joe!

Biden calls paying higher taxes a patriotic act

"We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people," Biden said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America."

 

[kjf48197]

I can't blame him. I would take the money and run as well.

 

[Bradsknives]

When FB goes IPO, his stake is estimated at a cool $3.8 BILLION. Even after taxes he will be in good shape.

 

[phylodog]

Why wouldn't he? It's become far more beneficial to hang around in this country as a non citizen than a citizen, particularly if you have money.

 

[Expat]

I wonder if he supported Obama/Biden?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Likely in his best interest to renounce citizenship, travel to Mexico where you will receive guns from the Department of Justice, then cross illegally into the USA where he can file fraudulent tax returns and receive welfare transfer payments and vote in California.

Guns, free money, free medical care, more rights than a citizen and being able to vote multiple times! Hmmmm . . .

This is what happens when some attempt to take from the producers to redistribute to the slackers.

Are you listening fearless leader, you son of a *****?

Yes, haha. More taxes and regulation will just cause us to bleed more money and jobs out of this country. Liberalism is like a neuce on the neck of our economy.

Amazing, theft of hundreds of millions of dollars from an American is ok because they have a billion or two left over?

Theft is wrong.

I don't blame the guy, I'm self employed at this point and I'm sick and tired of paying for the looters.

I'm considering becoming an ExPat myself.

Why stay and put up with it? Why let all of you continue to steal from me? I'm tired of it.

Progressivism is like a cancer.

I ask, what do you do when you find cancer in a body?

Drink tea and dance in the streets?
LOL

The guy was born in Brazil and lives in Singapore. Of course he doesn't want to pay US taxes.

You take the chemotherapy and wither away before dying painfully.

Cancer is caused by letting Government and Corporations EFF YOU IN THE REAR.

I'm expecting many INGOers to delete their facebook accounts in protest of this unamerican pos. Who is John Galt?

 

[handgun]

I would to.

But give unto ceaser what is ceasers.

I wish everyone in america had the balls to not pay property,income,and gains taxes.

Only pay sales tax.. the gov would either collapse or cancel all non essentual programs.. other than the military

 

[HeadlessRoland]

If I paid unto Caesar what is Caesar's and gave unto God what is God's, then I would pay no tax and join a monastery, strictly speaking.

If your refrain is any indication, you'd cut out the offending limb or organ and hope both could continue to live on.

 

[2ADMNLOVER]

If I could , I would in a heartbeat !

The guberment is drunk with power and most of the people don't seem care as long as they still have cable and fast food .
