It is easy to send the Bill, to the Registered Address, what is hard to
do, is get them to PAY IT.........

Until, that is, you want to return to the USA. The IRS has a mighty long
reach. And the US is about the only nation in the world that taxes its
citizens on income earned abroad. If you carry a US passport and you
reside in another country and earn all your income in that country, the
IRS wants its share. I have a friend in Venezuela who finally said "Screw
this!" and renounced his US citizenship.

We have somewhat similar policies.....although they may make a bit more
sense up here.
I have a buddy who has spent almost his entire working life in the
Carribean working on boats etc..wherever he can support himself while
contributing nothing in Canadian taxes. He is counting on eventually
returning wnen he can no longer work to our old age pension, guaranteed
income supplement and socialized medicine. (plus a small Canada Pension
amount for a half dozen years working in this country).
Pretty minimal but he's lived the majority of his life as one long
vacation.
He'll still be as well off as the working poor.





Brrrr...what a dreadful idea. I would much rather be poor in the tropics
where food grows freely than to be poor in the frigid north where not having
money can mean freezing and starving to death.

When you cut out all of the consumer goods that are constantly demanding our
purchase, only to be made obsolete a year later for the next round of "must
have" purchasing, it doesn't cost that much to live. But in the northern
regions we have to spend lots of money keeping warm in the winter, then as
much again to keep cool in the summer. Round after round of new toys come
onto the market, and it's our Patriotic Duty as Americans to support the
economy by running out and buying them. And most of those toys are meant to
reward us for working so hard to earn the money to buy them. The Vicious
Circle of an culture gone insane.

And here I am, working in the Entertainment industry. I never said I was
consistant. lol
