    Well, brightside is it saves you a few thousand dollars on renouncing your citizenship. It isn’t a cheap or easy process normally.

      I wouldn’t put it past the US to charge the victims of this the renunciation fee anyway, and keep them on the IRS list as tax persons.

      I am genuinely hoping they start doing this and there’s an easy enough way for me to make myself a target. I have U.S. citizenship and I do not want it, but I don’t have the money to jump through all their hoops to renounce it.

      • Just be sure that you know what countries are willing to give you citzenship if you are stateless if the US is your only citizenship… coincidentaly I belive Cuba will give stateless people citizenship

          Would be the greatest, sweetest irony that a brain drain here could turn Cuba into the greatest socialist country in the world, a Mecca for folks tired of the capitalist soul-suck.
