@AusElectoralCom Did the woman I saw hand a poll worker 2 drivers licenses (1 belonging to her mother who was not there) get 2 ballots? Poll worker advised she could not vote for mother but then appeared to back down under pressure taking both licenses. Not how absentee is done.
@ClayTravis Federalism adopted by Australia in 1901. Difference is no Bill of Rights & a court that leaves the checks & balances to the election process. At issue here is the flexing of the Immigration Ministers personal power on the basis of good order.
Born American now dual citizen after living in the UK for the past 20 years. Thank you for this article. If only they would listen for once and stop abusing those of us that dare to leave the USA with double taxation. #FATCA#RBT
@CrisLeeMaza@washingtonpost Don't forget the potential for financial abuse when an American spouse/child can't own assets with their non US spouse/parent without opening them to scrutiny by IRS which is foreign to them. Or not being able to hold a financial position for a club, charity, school, etc #FATCA
@RepKevinBrady@Forbes How about protecting the retirement of overseas Americans who savings are taxed where they are earned & where we live. End unfair double taxation #CBT#RBT
@PostWorld@zuludogm If the US would just join the rest of the world and tax based on residence rather than citizenship, then Americans would be able to keep their citizenship AND live a normal financial life in their new home countries.
And many innocent and unsuspecting US persons w. foreign pension plans and retirement schemes may be swept up in this wave of "noncompliance" since these may be treated as "foreign trusts". Nightmare.....
@benshapiro Ben..I really dig your POV but Americans are not truly free to leave. Thanks to Homeland Democrats like Chuck Schumer, Reed, Obama and RINOs, there is a financial wall made up of #CBT, #FATCA, #GILTI and other UnAmerican abbreviations.
The 2020 U.S. presidential election is a little more than a week away. Many expats will have voted by now, but for those who haven't, Bright!Tax managing partner Katelynn Minott assesses for us how the candidates’ tax plans would be likely to affect them…https://t.co/P4vAGpRFr5
@dkouba@DemsAbroad@JoeBiden@KamalaHarris I believe getting @JoeBiden@KamalaHarris
position on #FATCA and #CBT will NOT be part of the calling script.
Tell me otherwise.
The script should include request for Executive Order to change the definition of "resident" in the tax code to actual residency in the USA.
@DemsAbroad Great opportunity to spread the word on @JoeBiden@KamalaHarris position on #FATCA and #CBT too! They ❤ our votes... care less about our family financial well-being & privacy ...just as long as it they can use us #expats to balance spending #HIREAct
Answer to Why doesn't the IRS allow US citizens married to non-residents to file taxes electronically from abroad, even filing separately? Are they just punishing us for marrying someone they can't tax? by Mike Breen https://t.co/lLbx0KLupS
