I think you're making an assumption here that when they forgo citizenship they get all the good stuff (money) and they don't have to deal with the bad stuff (taxes). Saverin won't be able to make an investment in the US easily. He also won't be able to own or buy properties/businesses. If he truly wanted to earn more, he would pay up the taxes in order to take advantage of the privileges of being in a country like the USA. I'm not from here, and you guys have it great. If I were in Saverin's position, I would choose to stay because I would still want to contribute to the economy. But I also see the argument for wanting to take time off in other countries. I think its incredibly unfair for a ex-citizen to be denied a visa just because he chose to forgo its privileges and taxes.
