As a US citizen (for another couple weeks), I'm really getting tired of America's shit.
- willvarfar 13y agoAdvice: wait three more weeks before continuing in this vein.
- andyhmltn 13y agoMay I ask why?

- peterjancelis 13y agoWas probably just a joke saying to wait until he got rid of his US citizenship. "A couple of weeks" = 2 weeks. "Wait 3 weeks" = the week after the couple of weeks are over.
- ciupicri 13y agoOut of curiosity why are you renouncing your citizenship?
- flyinRyan 13y agoLiving outside the US as an American is pretty hard. It's one of two countries on earth that expects you to keep filing, and paying taxes even if you have never set foot inside the country (e.g. born in Spain to one American parent), you have to report any bank account you control to the US every year. That includes company accounts you have signing rights over, so forget being a stock trader in a "tax haven" country, etc. It's a lot of trouble and it gets worse every year since we're one of the few groups the politicians can demonize and exploit with no consequence at all. Anyone rich enough to have power isn't affected by these laws, practically speaking.
