Fair enough point - but they do mention some specific examples of people that obviously have a high net worth and have a _lot_ to lose by these tax laws. I assume that anyone giving up their citizenship has enough to lose to make that worthwhile. It would be good to examine exactly how much is being lost and whether it's _actually_ newsworthy, but I'm not sure how they can do that - AFAIK all they can go on is the number of people giving up their citizenship that is provided by the IRS. You'd need to figure out specific names, it'd be a huge undertaking. It'd be interesting to know though, and probably worthwhile for the government to investigate and monitor.
