Things are bad in the US and getting worse but most everywhere else is in even poorer shape. The economic system is the same or worse elsewhere and the US has the advantage of 1) Strong libertarian and IT movements 2) Guns 3) A good constitution. (not enforced but still better then nothing) The US will be the last to suffer from the coming debt collapse and likely among the first to bounce back and recover.

Title: Re: If a US expat & sick of FATCA - article(s): How I Renounced my US citizenship Post by: BADecker on November 04, 2014, 08:35:09 PM At times U.S. citizenship or residency may have its benefits. Don't throw it away. Rather, limit your citizenship or residency to the particular things that you have a desire to be a citizen or resident for. Do this by signing all government documents that you have added your citizenship/residence listing on, "all rights reserved," next to yur signature.
For the purposes of your main living in the U.S., do not be a citizen or resident. Rather be domiciled. Look up the legal meanings of the words to see the difference. For more information on this, listen to the things that Bill Thornton has to say at http://www.1215.org/. :) |
