Huh? *Any* resources?
If you're talking about resources *in the US*, then that's a perfectly normal equity tax[*]. (Perhaps a little arbitrarily assessed, for all I can tell, but still.) Are you saying Rand's example of someone who happens to have US citizenship but has practically never set foot there, will have his resources *elsewhere* impounded upon renouncing his US citizenship? Any sources on that? -- Christian R. Conrad Same old username (as above), but now on iki.fi (Yeah, yeah, it redirects to the same old GMail... But just in case I ever want to change.)

I seem to be out of date.
It appears to have been relaxed in 2008. Unsurprising, given the subservience to the rich. There is still an exit tax but there are a lot more loopholes in it now. I haven't the time or interest to read a bunch of IRS forms to be more specific. Sorry about that. "Religion, n.
