I stand to make a life changing amount of money through an impending future liquidity event. I cannot understand people who do this.
Throwing away US citizenship for mere extra dollars in ones bank account… What is the state of your life? Have you no family or community? Are you really willing to uproot yourself and your entire lifestyle for mere wealth?
The HN libertarians love to comment on articles like this and point fingers at progressives like they are ruining the US. As someone who would actually feel a significant impact from this, I can tell you I cannot relate to that position at all. Even should there be a wealth tax, or whatever, it would take Jan 6 levels of violent upheaval on the regular before id ever consider giving away my citizenship.
Maybe the minuscule number of people who do this don’t have all that much to tell us—except that avarice knows no limits?
