Yet another Biden victory!
Maybe if I did that and cut off their SS checks
"Why would you do that? They pay taxes but don't receive the benefits bestowed by the Federal government.
Oh. I forgot. Unless you're a politician or a farmer or a green energy entrepreneur or some other special interest you don't get squat from the federal government anyway.
Never mind.
I wouldn't take their citizenship away if I were dictator though. Making it more difficult for Tooms to vote is a good idea however. "
Both would return overnite and we all know nobody wants that.
Ill have to reconsider.
We can just consider the SS checks a very small bribe to get out and stay the fuck out.
I hate to break it to you
[QUOTE=Tiny12;2866796]Baloney. The USA has the most progressive tax system in the developed world. You can't raise huge amounts of money by taxing the rich more. They just won't realize taxable income. That was the situation prior to cuts in the higher marginal tax rates passed with overwhelming support from Democrats and Republicans in the 1980's.
Given that Biden has pledged not to raise taxes on families making less than $400,000 per year, how are we going to close the 8% of GDP annual budget deficits that are on the horizon as far as the eye can see? Well, if Biden and the Democrats control government, they're sure as hell not going to cut spending. The deficit and national debt would continue to rise, and unless interest rates tank we're fucked. And what if they do manage to cut the deficits? What happens when that 8% per year (as a % of GDP) in spending suddenly disappears? Then we're fucked too.
I believe Democrats will win the presidency in 2024. I hope Republicans can control at least one house of Congress, so they can continue to put a break on the spending. Yes, that would adversely affect GDP growth in the short term, and you will of course criticize Republicans for being the adults in the room.[/QUOTE]You might want to sit down for this.
It turns out the way your Repubs cut taxes, on whom, when, why and how, along with their economic stewardship such as playing golf, riding ponies, clearing brush down at the ranch and playing more golf does shit for averting Great Repub Depressions, averting Great Repub Recessions, promoting business expansion in America and and the creation of jobs. Obviously.
But Dem tax cuts and economic stewardship do a fine job of the above and just as obviously.
Are you shocked?
Did your Economics 101 text book just burst into flames?
Again, a "tax cut", which both Dems and Repubs do, is merely a "process" PRESUMABLY in service to improving the economy well enough to avert economic disaster and massive job losses and, ideally, to instead encourage business growth and create jobs.
They are not an economic "results" in and of themselves.
Tax cuts by Repubs, on whom, when, where, why and how have only precipitated, triggered and most definitely not averted Great Repub Depressions, Great Repub Recessions, Skyrocketing Unemployment Rates and Massive Repub Jobs Destruction for almost the past full century.
Those are the real world economic "results" of your Repub tax cuts "processes".
BTW, we are all still waiting for you or anyone else to please for the love of god cite the now beloved and revered economic legislation promoted by, fought for, signed and passed by Repubs when they occupied the White House, the Majority in the House and the Majority in the Senate anywhere comparable to what the Dems have done when they controlled those factions, as in Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Unemployment Insurance, The Affordable Care Act, etc, etc, etc.
Can't come up with one? Not even an iddy bitty one?
Had to add. Name was invoked?
[QUOTE=SubCmdr;2866677]You don't know my travel plans. You will not be getting the memo. To the USGOV it is irrelevant where I live. Taxes are due from the US citizens worldwide.
Well then I guess it is fortunate that it it is not up to you. All you have to do in order for that to happen is to petition your elected officials at the federal level and ask for a redress of your grievances. They respond to email. At least mine do. [B]LOL![/B].
Sorry Charlie, we don't want tuna with good taste, we want tuna that tastes good.
Didn't the US get started because a bunch of mother fuckers who were rich decided to say "Fuck you" another mother fucker across the ocean because they didn't want to pay taxes? No taxation without representation. How much revenue would USGOV lose if it your policies were invoked against all individuals excising their right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"? Show me where it says that a US Citizen is required to live in the United States in order to vote or to retain their citizenship.
[B]Checkmate![/B][/QUOTE]For law loving Marquise.
You may lose your USA Citizenship in specific cases, including if you:
Run for public office in a foreign country (under certain conditions).
Enter military service in a foreign country (under certain conditions).
Apply for citizenship in a foreign country with the intention of giving up USA Citizenship.
Commit an act of treason against the United States.
Are a naturalized USA Citizen who faces denaturalization due to committing certain crimes.

Sub and Toom are citizens unless they meet one of those criteria. Let the dream of being a dictator (one day) go Marquise.
