  • What’s the share of wealthy Americans who have renounced their citizenship?

    Since 2020, 21,027 wealthy Americans have officially exited the U.S. tax system, accounting for nearly 39% of all expatriations recorded by the IRS since 1996.

    IRS Expatriation List only reflects “covered expatriates,” defined as those with a net worth over $2M or who paid $178K+ annually in taxes over the last five years.

    This makes it about 50,000 since 2020 who had to pay extra. How many have renounced overall?

    Since 1998, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has also maintained its own list of people who have renounced citizenship under 8 U.S.C. § 1481(a)(5), as this is one of the categories of people prohibited from purchasing firearms under the Gun Control Act of 1968 and who must be entered into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) under the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993

    The list of all renouncements:

    However, in 2013, the number of records of renunciants added to NICS again exceeded the number of names published in the Federal Register expatriate list, with 3,128 renunciants in the former against only 3,000 losing citizenship or permanent residence by any means in the latter.[2









  • A similar situation would be if you are a regular guest and the owner asks why you don’t come more often. You tell him, while you mention that you don’t complain, that you don’t feel totally at home in a black dominated environment.

    Of course that offends some people but it shouldn’t. There are cultural differences and it would be strange to be indifferent towards them. People choose their restaurants depending on the other guests. That determines how waiters treat them, how the food is prepared and other things.

    If you lie and say that you miss a live band, would you come more often if the owner made the investment?

    Now, if I am not mistaken, the curious thing about trans people is that they don’t want to be their own thing but be treated the same as any men or women.

    In that sense the comment is offensive because noticing the existance of trans people is what causes dysphoria and feels bad, as far as I understand it.

    In a regular post I can support that dysphoria comments should be removed because comments are for having a good time.

    However in this post the comment is constructive feedback. It’s still possible to remove the comment but it incentivizes people to lie.

    Of course, the obvious solution, to remove trans people and their comments, is not acceptable. But I think that there was an opportunity to figure out what OP felt bad about and to help him not to be bothered.
