Why Are So Many People Choosing To Leave The United States
August 11, 2013
Have
things gotten so bad that it is time to leave the United States for
good? That is a question that a lot of Americans are dealing with these
days, and an increasing number of them are choosing to leave the
country of their birth permanently. Some are doing it for tax reasons,
some are doing it because they believe the future is brighter elsewhere,
and others are doing it because they are very distressed about the
direction that America is heading and they don't see any hope for a
turnaround any time soon. Personally, I have several friends and
contacts that regard themselves as "preppers" that have decided that the
United States is too far gone to recover. They have moved their
families out of the country and they never plan to return. As this
nation continues to head down the very troubled road that it is
currently on, this trend is probably only going to accelerate even more.
In
fact, some Americans are even going so far as to renounce their
citizenship when they leave. This represents only a small percentage of
those that are leaving the country, but as
Bloomberg recently reported, the number of Americans that renounced their citizenship in the second quarter of 2013 was
six times larger than the number that renounced their citizenship in the second quarter of last year...
Americans
renouncing U.S. citizenship surged sixfold in the second quarter from a
year earlier as the government prepares to introduce tougher
asset-disclosure rules.
