You know that Superman is fictional, right? And that if he was real, he would be considered an alien in the US?

You know this is not really about Superman right? However, most people would focus on that instead of the reasons why US citizens are legally divorcing their allegedly free country.

Let them go. Hopefully, they aren't dumping kids behind.

I stated long ago that there would come a point where Americans are so fed up with the unfair taxes and police state intrusions of their privacy, that they will actually move out to other countries seeking freedom and prosperity from the prying eyes of the American police state and national security grid.

The United States of America went from being the greatest and most prosperous nation on earth, to a corrupt and decrepit high-tech police state run by a secret cabal of faceless corporations and greedy special interests.

Prolly would be more fair if we eliminated the capital gains tax so the very wealthy can pay rates approaching 0%.

The nanny state is to blame on high taxes.

Last year, almost 1,800 people followed Superman's lead,

Out of 300M that's really not too bad.

Most likely

They're the ones who have no respect for the freedoms they do have. They criticize the military, want to live off the state, yet pay no taxes into it, etc. Having been to places in the world where the protections of freedom are non-existent (Afghanistan, Iraq, Africa, etc.), I cannot understand the delusion some of these people are under. But....I've always said: Don't like it, be willing to stand up for your beliefs or leave. Just sayin'

It's small by comparison but it's also the largest number to ever do that. It's very rare for someone to renounce US citizenship. We rock out loud after all.

So you're criticizing them for doing what you say they should do?
