  Countries should never appear vindictive, as it also makes them look petty and weak. [edit] Also, how does it make sense to impose taxes AND bar them from entry? Seems like more of an either/or type of situation. If someone is paying US taxes, then obviously they should be allowed entry; no one wants to fund the mechanism that punishes them. [/edit]

    Sen. Schumer is in many ways the senatorial equivalent of a personal injury lawyer who advertises on the back of a bus. He's a good politician, but a master self-promter. He focuses on hot issues to get cheap name recognition like the iPhone 4 "antennagate" issue, airport baggage fees, caffinated malt liquor and similar nonsense.

    I think they are pitching it as a sort of 'exit tax' in response to perceived abuse.
