> You're free to renounce American citizenship to escape future tax obligations.

The hilarious thing about this statement is that it costs a few thousand dollars to renounce (as in a fee, paid to the embassy) and they reserve the right to come get you up to ten years later in tax cases.

And IIRC there is some law saying that if you renounce citizenship to avoid taxation, you might never be able to enter the US again.

It's pretty expensive and difficult.

> You're free to renounce American citizenship to escape future tax obligations.

actually you are not free to do that. renouncing citizenship requires a reason other than "to escape tax obligations"

You also have to be fully up-to-date with the IRS before you can renounce citizenship!
