[QUOTE=Tominorobo;973380]According to US tax laws, American citizens and green card holders are required to file taxes every year, regardless of where they live or where they earn their income.[/QUOTE]

[center][B][U][FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=7][class=fire]ARISE, THREAD LONG DEAD! Haunt the forums from which thou were created.[/class][/SIZE][/FONT][/U][/B][/center]

Unless what Lumi said is a blatant lie, which I very strongly doubt, it seems it's really just an anti-millionaire tax evasion measure, whereas normal people don't have to pay taxes abroad, so America is actually not that trash. On that point, at least.

Also, how did you get here? I've never seen you around ^^

[QUOTE=Stealthbomber16;948841]Yeah in my political science class we took a citizenship test as a class and with the 13 of us (summer course) we didn’t even pass. That test is bullshit.[/QUOTE]

LOL that's a nice exercise. I wonder if the government thought about taking that class...

This is not the kind of thing that should be relativized, unless you're talking about it for the sole purpose of comparing your process to other countries' (which can be useful to attempt to improve it afterwards by avoiding others' mistakes and using their good points). If your process makes no sense on a specific point, it doesn't matter whether your process is the best or the worst in the world: you still should change that specific point. It's about making something that works well, not about making something that's less crappy than the rest.

[QUOTE=Helz;948831]Its worth looking at the citizenship requirements of other countries when speaking about Americas problems.

My buddy has been working on becoming a citizen in Mexico for over 10 years and having hell. He only wants to because his land holdings will revert to the government when he dies and only citizens can pass stuff down to their children.

Not saying its not terrible but people act like America's process is so terrible while the rest of the worlds is so great.[/QUOTE]

I mean, if you compare the US to North Korea, you'll suddenly find the US amazing... not saying that Mexico is North Korea, buuuuut ;)

Also thanks for the fact-check, real Americans
