Eduardo Saverin, the Facebook co-founder who renounced his U.S. citizenship in what many have seen as a move to avoid paying federal taxes, has managed to unify many Americans behind Uncle Sam's outstretched hand.

Before we get to the reaction, a quick catch-up: Saverin is Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook co-founder, and his role in the business venture was immortalized in the Oscar-winning film, “The Social Network.” He has a reported 4% stake in the company, a stake that could be worth nearly $4 billion after Facebook's highly anticipated initial public offering, expected next week.

Is he a greedy bastard or a smart investor?

Actually, I agree wholeheartedly with Husker. The exceedingly corrupt U.S. government doesn't deserve this guy's money. He earned his honestly. But the state...? Plus the state is intoxicated on spending. I applaud this guy for his move.

How, exactly?
What is the value in US citizenship when you get to work and support those who do not? Democrats have devalued our dollar and and our citizenship. Not paying the taxes is probably far more valuable in the long run.

Exactly right, Tom! It's called starving the beast. Many more wealthy people should leave this country and take their bucks with them.

Don't forget, y'all, this all started on states' level. People would leave one hostile anti-capitalism state and move to a wallet-friendlier one. But now the tempo has picked up. People are really getting fed up. Now they just pick up and move out of the country. I say bravo! Let the voracious beast gut itself and feed on its own entrails!

Be very careful what your wish for. Globalism isn't the answer either. A strong, militarily-backed central world government ruled by the elite few is the last thing this world needs, although this is where the world is heading.

Eduardo Saverin is only dodging taxes on the increase in value of his Facebook holdings from September of last year. All value that accrued up until the point he renounced his citizenship last September is subject to US tax. Seeing how he wasn't born in the US, hasn't lived or worked in the US for 3 years it seems a little odd that people would get so upset over such a minor event. Continuing to pay tax on your world-wide income while neither living here nor working here doesn't make a lot of sense.

The liberals and their allies in the media are trying to portray this as some sort of big tax dodge by the wealthy so that they can continue their agenda of demonizing the successful and wealthy.

A few days ago I heard someone on the radio say that while most people consider taxes as a necessity to pay for the benefits of living in a society, conservatives consider taxes as a punishment for success. The portion of your post which I placed in bold certainly leads credence to that theory.

So now Mr Sauverin is no longer a United States citizen. But the money he is making is being made on the American stock exchange and he is making that money because Americans are using his service. So let him be a citizen of whatever freakin' country he wants as long as he pays American taxes on American money.

:ThmbUp: Agreed. He's not the only one who is upset about that.
Depending where you are outside of the U.S., you may be subjected to the taxes of the Country that you are in and then again to U.S. taxes.
This is a problem in that the U.S. has tried to ask the banks of other countries to send them private information on that U.S. citizen for taxation purposes. Some Countries comply, some don't.
The bottom line is, if I'm living outside of the U.S., paying taxes to the country that I've earned money in, why do I have to pay the U.S. Government for money that I earned elswhere??
The ultimate answer is complicated and would involve a lawyer's expertise which I don't have.
The bottom line is that to renounce one's Citizenship simply for money takes long and deep thinking.
Personally, I would have a very hard time relinquishing my Citizenship.

Well the person you heard on the radio certainly does reflect the feelings of most conservatives.

Mr Sauverin is paying taxes on the money he earned via the American Stock exchange up until the time he renounced his citizenship. Just as a US citizen can use foreign stock exchanges for trading stocks without paying foreign taxes Mr Sauverin will have the same ability to use American exchanges. Facebook is international and it has nothing to do with "American money".

We didn't leave England because of taxes. We left because of representation. We had none. We revolted because we had no say in determining what taxes we should pay to England and how those taxes should be apportioned. None of the founding fathers advocated that no taxes should be collected. Both the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution provided for the collection of taxes.
Article one; Section eight:
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

The problem was not taxes, it was that we were being asked to pay taxes that others (living in England) were not being asked to pay. And we were not being allowed a voice in deciding what those taxes should be.

Just exactly how are the poor and less fortunate being demonized? What is the bullying and why does anybody need to fight back?

It's not surprising that a liberal would try to paint the picture that success only happens when the poor and less fortunate are used as a stepping stool.

Apparently, British airline passengers are complaining long and loud about how long it takes British citizens to get through their own immigration windows at Heathrow. Critics say not enough immigration officers are being assigned to work at the British passport control windows due to budget cuts made by the Tory government. Tories, of course, are blaming the long lines on bad weather - or anything else they think of besides the obvious.

Getting back to my main point with AndyC, Newt, one thing is for sure. If you cut taxes/budgets, services will suffer. And that includes immigration officers working at Heathrow Airport.

Here's another thing for sure...if you continue to raise taxes, people will leave. You need not look further than California to see this trend. Cali is losing business by the bundles! Or, look at all the people who INCREASINGLY are renouncing their citizenship.....I can assure you this is not because we are a tax friendly place. So guess we just either lose the people and have no tax base under your plan, or we try our best to have those people here and increase the tax base by having people want to come here and start business.....you take your choice!

Moving van rep at the house today scoping my place out for the pack and move. He told me his company closed their last office in California a few weeks back. They moved across the border to Nevada to avoid the taxes. He says they do about 20 moves out of California for every move into the state.

New tax regs made them move the office. Some screwy rule says if they have an office in California they have to pay some new tax of 900 bucks for every truck in the fleet, per year. It was cheaper to move across the border.

I did not say a country taxed it's way to prosperity. I said if you cut taxes and start a war simultaneously, services will have to be cut on people who need them the most. The only reason most services/entitlements have not been cut to date is because of Obama and the Democrats.

A couple things are for sure IMO. If the poor turn out to vote in November, it won't help Romney. Another thing for sure is that ten years later the Bush tax cuts have still not had a positive effect on the U.S. economy.

I think you believe this a good thing.
You do not have a problem with those who do the work and pay the taxes having to cut back, though, do you? You are willing to keep sucking them dry while some do not share the sacrifice.

In NY, welfare was RAISED, while those who pay for it - remember, the government never pays for anything - people do - work longer hours, pay more for gas to get to work, and have to cut their life styles. Sickening basterd of governor that we have.

This is why I hate - and I mean hate in the worst sense of the word -liberals.
They mouth the words of the idiot in chief, but not a one of them has a clue.

At the risk of sounding insensitive, there are far too many people getting services and entitlements who could really exist quite nicely without them. The only job some people have is figuring out the best way to get their "entitlements".

It's good that you realize that we can't tax our way to prosperity but that is what we seem to want to try. Most people just look at income taxes and claim that taxes were higher 15 years ago and everything was hunky dorry. But since then there have been a myriad of fees and costs heaped on individuals and businesses that eat away at our disposable income.

And once again, cutting taxes doesn't mean that revenues will fall. The Laffer curve explains that very nicely.

This country functions best for all inside the "fat dumb and happy" mode, so called "change" means less pocket change for everybody. You people want to see eight percent growth again, it means sending Obozo back to Chicago to organize where he belongs. As Americans we have to come together for America and if need be reach into that kitchen draw for the clothespin to vote. Transportation is a whopping 30+ percent of our economy, no gas pipeline from Canada, left wing war on coal, failed transportation polices from this administration. President Ronald Reagan looked so great because he replaced Jimmy Carter the complete failure. If we continue this model everything will be lost forever, everything we know and love as Americans will be lost to integrate with the New World Order (Filth Inc.), it all hinges on you!

I think you believe this a good thing.
You do not have a problem with those who do the work and pay the taxes having to cut back, though, do you? You are willing to keep sucking them dry while some do not share the sacrifice.



Earth to Tom. 35% (the highest federal income tax rate) is not sucking anybody dry. If you can't see that simple fact, you need better glasses. :rolleyes:

Earth to stinky....the MIDDLE CLASS people who drive to work everyday, pay twice for gas what they did when Obama took office, maybe a single paycheck now thanks to the moronic economic policies of the left killing jobs, there people ARE being sucked dry. No raises the last three yers, expenses going up, thepople carrying the anchors are having to cut back while the anchors do not.

What the HELL planet do you live on?
