News@lemmy.world•State Department slashes fee to renounce US citizenship by 80% to $450English
1·3 天前Which has a price:
Notably, entry can be denied to persons who renounced their U.S. citizenship to avoid paying income taxes.

The U.S. government has never issued regulations to implement the Reed Amendment.
Passport control at John F. Kennedy International Airport. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officers decide whether former U.S. citizens arriving in the U.S. are inadmissible based on the Reed Amendment. They have only found two people inadmissible in the past 15 years.

1·3 天前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

717·4 天前That was not the expensive part. The expensive part is when they calculate the future taxes that they won’t receive and take a share of that. Edit: if you are above a threshold.
What would you do in a world without them?

Why is this not what is happening? Trump is a reality star. Is he calling the shots or is he handling the masses, both sides, while more knowledgeable people do the actual planning?
If Trump is that stupid why do the billionaires not finance an impeachment?
Society is also enabling. Without society we would only have stone tools, at best.
You gave a general answer. What about you? What do you want to do and what is holding you back?
Edit: Why the downvotes?
What do you want to do and how is society preventing it?
Of course, that’s why it is important to remember that the people have the power.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your least favourite thing about the fediverse or lemmy?English
21·8 天前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.
The powerful people didn’t stand up and take the power. It was a gradual process that the masses could have stopped. They still can, they just need to know that they have that power.

11·8 天前He didn’t say that he hated transgender people. As far as I am concerned I wouldn’t call him a bully either. There was no hassling or suppression.
I don’t have it either. But that shouldn’t prevent us from thinking about what could be done.
Millions of people want free money. How many are willing to spend the time to make it work? The problem is not the revolution but to regularly make investment decisions and to decide what the economy should do.
