Tax Day Whining

Taxes are due today, so Freepers have a number of complaint threads.

In this one, Freepers plan to leave the US for tax purposes. Well, they more talk about how awesome it would be and then fall asleep in their cheetos, dreaming of Galt's Gulch:

Gay State Conservative has a very specific loophole he covets:


The US is the only civilized country on earth that taxes its citizens on worldwide income when they're living outside the country.And our Tax Cheat-In-Chief,Geitner,fully supports that.
grumpygresh is mixing up a flight of fancy with reality. Rookie Internet mistake.


Questions:
If you renounce your US citizenship, are you permitted to re-enter the US?
Has anyone attempted to renounce their US citizenship while living in the US?
What are the easiest countries to obtain resident alien status? Citizen? I thought that the Caribean island nation of Dominica was pretty easy to get a passport if you had 60k.
Which foreign nations have gun rights comparable to the US? This is a pretty good indicator of individual rights.
urbanpovertylawcenter is done with taxes, cause of the 8th Amendment:


I am becoming a conscientious objector to taxes. I believe they are cruel and inhumane when collected by a government that can print half of the money it spends each year thereby inflating the value of all our money away and not having to tax anyone.
Grow a pair, President Obama, end taxes now and spend only freshly printed money from the Federal Reserve computers.
Lots of incoherent rage against inflation on this thread as well.

Baynative totally knows this guy who is just going to sail forever

Like many who love the sea and sailing, good friend of mine has talked of sailing around the world for a long time. He is politically astute and did a lot of research into Obama and his colleagues from Chicago. As the health care debate raged on, he and his wife began doing some work on their boat and selling their stuff. They left for a life at sea about 14 months ago. They've spent most of the last year in the Pacific and are now just north of the canal heading for the Virgin Islands and then ...wherever.
We talked last week and I asked him what they miss about 'home' now that they've been gone over a year. He said, "Absolutely NOTHING!"
STJPII knows the stakes:

If the antichrist wins in November, I could see that number [of people renouncing their citizenship] jumping ten fold.

Isnt' the Antichrist supposed to win? It's almost as if Freepers are putting their hatred of Obama above their faith...

  2. "only civilized country on earth that taxes its citizens on worldwide income when they're living outside the country"

    I love obscure Freeper facts, because a quick google search shows that 99% of these facts are completely made up.

  3. My favorite in that thread is the guy at #37 calling for Central American-style Right Wing Death Squads:"A relatively small but professional group that targeted and popped a few hundred of the most egregious leftist media, education, money, union, judicial, and political voices would stop this in its tracks."

  4. Freepers are so patriotic, they're desperate to leave the country and/or renounce their citizenship just to avoid paying the dues to society everyone is expected to pay. Truly they are the only Real Americans™.

  5. OK, I had to look at comment #37.

    "A relatively small but professional group that targeted and popped a few hundred of the most egregious leftist media, education, money, union, judicial, and political voices would stop this in its tracks."

    ciaocotc, I am sorry for your wife and children but I have had to make a phone call based on your post. The Anti-Christ death squad will make sure you will not live until the equinox. Hail Satan!

    In other news, Freepers are violent and crazy.
