Paying to Leave

Did you know that there is a new tax on leaving the country if you give up your US citizenship? I thought it was just another urban legend, but here it is in black and white: Click Here.

Are the current crop of criminals in Washington afraid that we'll all leave if they get in again? I had a vision yesterday. The religious right likes to talk about the "rapture" when all good fundamentalists will be called up to heaven, leaving us poor slobs to try to figure out the mess they leave behind. Well, maybe it will be us that will leave the US, leaving this place for the "born agains" to try to live with.

Maybe that is the plan. The new tax will essentially strip us of a lot of our assets if we want to participate in the secular "rapture." Then they will have assets to work with after we are gone. Land of the free and home of the brave.
