These people are dual citizens and HAVE filed their U S tax returns continuously for decades and have not stopped. They are not tax cheaters. Read what they are saying. Quote them and respond to these quotes what you do not like. Other than usual anti americans abroad chant.

I am heartened that There almost 300 views on this so far. Even if no recs it does not matter. What matters that people read this. It was printed in an American esteemed magazine by a very well known man.

I filed my U S tax returns too when I emigrated. The last year I filed a US return was the year I became a Canadian. I am no longer an American citizen. I have my CLN. I am just a Canadian citizen.
One year I received $2000 US tax refund. I sent it back immediately as I never worked in the USA since emigrating to Canada. The IRS never said thank you for returning it or that they had made a mistake. LOL.

There are over 7 million Americans living abroad. Most permanently and not at all rich. I am a widow, living on a blue collar pension. My late husband and I would borrow money for RRSPs, pay the loans in a year and then do it again. Canada has higher income taxes, and sales taxes but we do have benefits we will not give up. Those high Canadian taxes are worth it.

Read the article and disect and discuss what you disaree with. BTW I not a Obama hater. I defend him much up here.

The USA would be in better economic shape if they has RBT.
