The Republic of Korea, or the Republic you abandoned years ago?

That's a little harsh. It's not like he was ever a real American anyway.

CNN/ORC National GOP Primary Poll

  • Donald Trump - 49%
  • Marco Rubio - 16%
  • Ted Cruz - 15%
  • Ben Carson - 10%
  • John Kasich - 6%

We're fucked.



And then Cruz squeaks a victory in Texas, resulting in him staying in the race, Rubio will stay until at least Florida and Kasich until Ohio.

If they make a lot of money - I think the earned income exclusion is something like $80k - or have investment income.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Just because they have no representation in Congress does not mean they should not pay their taxes.

Most likely the taxes they pay abroad are deducted from what they have to pay in the US. Most countries have anti-double-tax treaties that address that.

When I worked in the US, I kept paying taxes in Spain. I was told it was because of a tax treaty, but it seemed weird to me.
