In my case, I would need to be pulling in well over 200K after foreign taxes per year to owe the IRS. Most normal Americans who work in foreign countries probably won't owe the IRS any taxes.
As the dollar is currently not very high and as other countries have different standard of living 200K can be reached quite easily. Being a MD, Manager, Lawyer, or whatever in upper salary range in Switzerland will get you over 200K easily.
The problem is also with the banking system, as the IRS tries to police the world, it's a nightmare for a US citizen to open a bank account in Switzerland, and a lot of Swiss bank just refuse to open an account to American citizen.
That's maybe why ceremony of renunciation are hold quite often in Switzerland.
Ok so as his family decided to move to the US and take American citizenship, he should be prohibited to immigrate somewhere else? What about the citizenship of his parents prior the US one. Did they sell their soul when the took the US one?
By the way, a lot of people are renouncing to the US citizenship because of the US tax system. IRS ask you to pay whatever the local tax system can be. For instance being a US citizen in Switzerland is such a hassle (try to open a bank account...) that ceremony for US citizenship renunciation are hold every week....
ESTA is already a visa that hides its name (and you have to pay for it). I'm pretty sure that US make more control on an ETSA that Iran for a visa.
It seems that only Brazil has the corones to treat US the same way the treat the rest of the world. UE is just surrending at the first opportunity!
The difference is that the CE tag is just an declaration from the supplier that the product is conforming to EU laws. This is just a sticker to apply. Raspberry Pi just forgot to order those stickers. This is not really the same thing as a FCC declaration.
Currently there is one big winner: Amazon. Last time I went to a DHL office (in french speaking part of Switzerland) I thought it was an Amazon warehouse! You get French price and free shipping, no other book seller can compete with this.
No because in this case both side voted differently but with the same goal -> price decrease!
Currently there is no price fixing, and the price of books in french speaking part of Switzerland is about 50% more than in France...
Costly? Never heard of the UK budget rebate ?
As a little reminder:
The UK won the rebate in 1984, after the then prime minister Margaret Thatcher threatened to halt payments to the EU budget.
Margaret Thatcher
Margaret Thatcher is misquoted as saying: 'I want my money back!'
"We are not asking the Community or anyone else for money," she said at a summit in Fontainebleau. "We are simply asking to have our own money back".
Yeah and the French and German radiation hardened robots that were proposed to Japan are able to do more than just cary a camera... The management of this crisis is really bad as precious time has been lost to national pride.
so they withdrew from NATO and went their own way.
France never withdrew from NATO (only from the unified command structure). To quote wikipedia:
France remained a member of the alliance, and committed to the defence of Europe from possible Communist attack with its own forces stationed in the Federal Republic of Germany throughout the Cold War.
You are completely missing the point! When I give my friend 5€ to pay him something, I don't owe someone something for this transaction. However if I do this with virtual money, my bank will be very glad to take a fee for this exchange. In fact with this system, the teller your are talking about is now in the middle of every transaction, and as you say there is nothing as a free lunch...
So as you may well aware not all transaction are going through the bank, but will electronic money they will!
And? Many time a year winds carry a lot of sand from the Sahara to Europe (at least enough to coat my car with a nice yellow layer of a very fine dust, and I'm at least 2500km away from it). I never heard of a flight modification because of this african silice dust... and as far as I know airplane can fly in Africa (and even in Afganistan) with huge level of dust even if the lifetime of some element is shorten.
There is more than enough public domain classical music (remember that in Europe it's only 50 years for performers). So find some Mozart recorded more than 50 years and tell them to go to hell.
My wife lost our babies in the car (fourth month of pregnancy) while I was driving her to the hospital. The amount of blood she lost in the car was shocking, she had to be transfused at the hospital. So yes you can have you wife bled in a significant amount in your car for a legitimate reason.
Yes but if you have to locate your infrastructure in Finland then this no more obey to European free market law that prohibit this kind of protective behavior, and that's why there is privacy law at the EC level.
It will be the same than saying that crope must be grown in Finland to meet local sanitary requirement. You may say it but it will not make it legal.
If I send traffic from my ISP to a friend that is using another ISP where both ISP use a direct private peering (I'm here not talking about large exchange point). Can you tell me where you are going to snoop the traffic?
I understand that some big under sea cable can be snooped but I'm talking about more local traffic. This kind of traffic is currently hard to intercept without the cooperation of ISP. That's why such kind of law are requested.
No but it's much more complicated otherwise they will not try to pass such a law... it's obvious!
Not all data go through satelite link that are eady to snoop. Some traffic go through direct peering and if you don't have sniffer at the right place you will never be intercepted.
Sweden has, in fact, the longest tenure of neutrality of any country in the world (yes, that includes Switzerland).
That's true for the modern form of neutrality, but the Swiss tradition of neutrality takes its root in the 1515 battle of Marignano, and the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648 reconised Switzerland and its neutrality...
It is not required by Finnish law otherwise it will be againt CE law as it will create a distortion of the competition as services are free to be provided in the EU.
I have been working for my diploma thesis at the Swiss Institute of Technology (Lausanne) on such a device. This was a tandem cell coupling a dye solar cell with an photocatalyst (iron oxyde for instance)to produce directly hydrogen. The goal was to use the potential created and the light not used by the solar cell and produce hydrogen in the second cell. The yield was not very good (~3%) but it was feasible. I suppose that the work is still going on.

And guess who pay for you? The others EU members.
In a country where Cookie Store is a trademark to sell cookie, I think that Amazon doesn't stand a chance...
Yeah and the French and German radiation hardened robots that were proposed to Japan are able to do more than just cary a camera... The management of this crisis is really bad as precious time has been lost to national pride.

Yes but the skin will receive a massive dose over a few milimeter as the energy is not spread accross the whole body.

Incredible! Seems that Obama is a greater supporter of Bush than McCain.

The red cross is the swiss flag inverted. The Red Cross founder was swiss.
