WT: A record 4,279 people renounced their U.S. citizenship or long-term residency in 2015, according to new data released by the Treasury Department.
Last year was the third year in a row that renunciations have increased to record levels and the number of people dropping their U.S. citizenship increased by over 1,000 since 2014, according to the data.
“An increasing number of Americans appear to believe that having a U.S. passport of long-term residency isn’t worth the hassle and cost of complying with U.S. tax laws,” Andrew Mitchel, an international lawyer in Centerbook Conn., who tallies and tracks the data told the Wall Street Journal. more

I’m sure having Barack Insane Obama as POTUS doesn’t play into this equation. crushing sarc/off
The democrats create a new voter pool to offset the valid votes they know will oust them, and they do this at the expense of national security. They should all be in prison.
LOL!! @ “My Mother Never Saw the Irony of Calling Me a Son-Of-A-Bitch”
Good! Maybe these new ex-americans can take some of the Mexicans and other illegal aliens with them!
I’m pretty sure the knee-pad media told me in 2008 that Gay Barry would usher in a new era of American excellence. I guess the Common Core definition of excellence means dropping the bar on the floor. Unfortunately, the Lo-Fo’s still trip over it when reaching for the brass ring…but especially when walking into the voting booth.
And in the meantime Marco and friends are hoping to just simply hand out citizenship certificates. welfare benefits and Democrat voter registration cards to at least half of the worlds population !
The four thousand leaving should be somewhat offset by the 100 Million coming!
Typical. The ones leaving pay taxes, while the imports being brought in will siphon benefits and anything else not bolted down. The ones leaving are contributors to society, the ones coming in are parasites on any society. Am I the only one thinking this is fucked up?
Hell, I did that seventeen years ago.
Y’all just trundle on back to Europe … or wherever …
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
