    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      From the article:

      "The bulk of the cases are individuals trying to avoid tax liability."

      A bunch of freeloaders who want all the benefits and privileges but unwilling to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities. Good riddance.

            Eric Schmidt, the former Alphabet CEO, has applied to become a citizen of Cyprus.

            https://gizmodo.com/larry-page-revealed-as-another-tech-billionaire-with-se-1847434522

            The government of New Zealand confirmed on Thursday that Google co-founder Larry Page, the sixth wealthiest person in the world, has obtained residency in New Zealand, according to a report from the news outlet Stuff. And with that, Page joins a growing list of super-wealthy Americans who are secretly buying residency status in New Zealand, a kind of insurance policy for doomsday.

            Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal and an early investor in Facebook, was revealed in 2017 to have been granted New Zealand citizenship after locals questioned why he was allowed to own a house on protected land.

                    The idea that you should be taxed simply because you're a U.S. Citizen, even if you live abroad, is really dumb.

                    Nobody else does that.

                    I was only joking

                            What's interesting is looking at the trend over the last 20 years.

                            Pretty flat until 2008, and then, with the exception of 2012, a steady rise until 2016.

                            Then a steady fall until 2020.

                            I know, correlation isn't causation....

                                Don Regan said many years ago, there are four kinds of money.

                                1. Poor people
                                2. Middle-class people.
                                3. Rich people.
                                4. People with "fuck you" money.

                                The third category probably doesn't care, while the fourth certainly doesn't.
