Senators To Unveil the 'Ex-Patriot Act' To Respond To Facebook's Saverin
An anonymous reader writes "Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has a status update for Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin: Stop attempting to dodge your taxes by renouncing your U.S. citizenship or never come to back to the U.S. again." See this earlier story on Saverin's plan to make the leap out of the U.S. tax system.
Probably more "American" than someone named "Rahm Emmanuel" or "Barack Obama".
"Flyin' in just a sweet place,
Never been known to fail..."
That's because the Dems have moved to the center in an attempt to please everybody (thus really pleasing nobody) while the right has moved waaaaaaaaay to the right and plays on fear, uncertainty, and doubt with all the "they took 'er jobs!/God said Adam and Eve!/Islam is a religion based in evil!" troglodytes.
There is no party truly representing the left in our government anymore.
We should be targeting the unemployed, for not paying the employment and income taxes they would be paying if they had jobs. For that matter, we should target the nearly 50% of the American public that does not pay income taxes at all (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/28/46-percent-of-americans-e_n_886293.html).
Compared to Texas where nothing is illegal and they aren't any better off. Good comparison, A++
