Poof.<br /><br />I don't actually hold out much hope for lawsuits either, given how willing the court has been historically to accept (or even invent) crazy rationales for government tax policies. They basically never try to reign in government abuse in this area. (E.g., retroactive taxes, anyone?)<br /><br />Still, it is better for the soul to fight back somehow, however hopeless the battle, than to simply lie down and take it passively. So I'll scrounge for some pennies to toss out for the lawsuits, as the steamroller bears down. Can't take it with you, right?<br />Inaka Nezuminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424131704277823220.post-91859216703916344712015-07-10T10:47:45.114+02:002015-07-10T10:47:45.114+02:00Reading this posting really depressed me.

Like you, I too think the only hope is through the courts but even there I have my doubts.

Now, having seen all the submissions and the scope, it is undeniably clear. This situation began in 2009, some <strong>6 years ago.</strong> There have been endless letters, emails, visits to Washington, forums, information sessions, media coverage, a large presence in cyberspace etc etc etc. It is abundantly clear: the US government could care less about the American diaspora and as far as they are concerned, it is perfectly acceptable to simply let this continue. The closing of bank accounts, cancellation of mortgages, taxation of tax-deferred vehicles in countries of residence, capital gains tax on the sale of principal residences not taxed in resident country, unwarranted US citizenship bestowed on people with meaningless tie to US of merely being born there with the same tax and reporting requirements as those who lived there for decades, destroyed marriages, people with stress, anger, depression...and on and on it goes.<br /><br />And if someone really believes there is anything hopeful in those two paragraphs, I think I would have to just shake my head. Somewhere along the line, those who are abused have to recognize the what, when and the WHO.
