It's not as easy as just burning the book and never looking back.
The American government has actually made it quite difficult for their tax cows to leave. And why wouldn't they?
Since 2010 they have required us to pay taxes even if we live overseas. They are one of only two countries in the entire world with such chains on their people.
Not only that but the revenue "service" can revoke your passport if they think you owe them over $50k!
I've been thinking a lot about this today as I filed a w9 for the first time in nearly a decade.
So if I want to renounce my citizenship I have to jump through some hoops.
One: pay the fuckers whatever they think I owe them.
Two: pay them an additional $2300 for the renunciation "service".
Three: find a friendly country that will take me.
Four: go through the process which could take up to six months
Five: never look back.
So, it won't be tomorrow but I'm going through with it. There's really isn't anything here for me now. I've come to hate nearly everything about this country. Even Chick-fil-A is off limits since they hate gay people.
The weed is good but good weed is coming up everywhere. I bought high grade hash with sbd in Peru this year for Christ's sakes and a gourmet hotdog from taboot.
Everything is possible but I only see hatred and anger everywhere I look here these days and frankly I've had enough of it.
Have any of you ever left your home country for good? I know is a man without a country but I don't think he intended that hahahaha
