Would you renounce your U.S. citizenship for $67 million?

No. There is no other place I'm aware of that offers (at least on paper) the liberties described in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

England? No! Switzerland? No! Germany, Austria? No! Brazil? No. Argentina? No. Australia? New Zealand? No and No...

If I was handed $67 million dollars, I'd buy an island and GTFO of here without hesitation. If I was a billionaire, I wouldn't leave to save $67 million in taxes. Two very different things.

For 67 million? Yes. Over 67 million in the scope of billions? No.

This.

Exactly what they said right here!!

This should have been a poll.

I'm with Speedracer and Pangris on this one. Island is a great idea, though. Keep citizenship and if you get f*ed with, hopefully you can call for some good ole USA backup.

Already doing that. It's called the expat tax. http://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2012/05/18/expats-face-steep-exit-tax-courtesy-of-facebook/

The taxes in this country have gotten completely out of hand. Where the Government can't impose laws because of constitutionality, they just impose taxes to force people to do what they want. It's sickening.

I'd like to claim I was a good honest American Citizen but... I've been to Alberta. It's not too bad in Western Canada.

The guy was not born a US Citizen.
He's Brazilian-born and he's been living in Singapore since 2009.

He doesn't care about his Citizenship status.

We'll see what happens when the $$$ runs out.

He was awarded 5% of Facebook and sold off some of it before the IPO.
He's no longer listed as a major shareholder.

Guess living is cheap in Singapore.
