The number of Americans choosing not merely to retire but often to live and work in other countries — expatriates or "expats" — has been increasing steadily for a number of years now. According to one source, the number of American expats has risen to four million, and the steady trickle of Americans out of this country shows no signs of abating.

Americans’ reasons for leaving differ from case to case. Some are convinced that the global empire emanating from Washington, D.C. is in its declining days, as was Rome at one point, and are seeking safe havens for themselves and their families just in case economic shocks in the United States continue. Others have either been sent or have chosen to pursue desirable careers overseas. Some, finally, just desire the experience of living in a different culture.

A new report now indicates that American expats are not just relocating overseas but taking the much bigger leap of relinquishing their U.S. citizenship

These Americans gave up US Citizenship to avoid the IRA (Inland Revenue Authority aka tax authority) coming after their incomes overseas. Some of them are Asians who have been living and working in Asia and have not been paying taxes.

It is not a big deal because the inflow is many times more than outflow

More and more China people and asians going to America and more and more American going to China and asian countries.

How interesting???

It is a BIG deal because the quality of yanks surrendering their passports are very high , while the quantity of new yanks getting yank citizenship is so low .

You do know how many Illegal low end unskilled Latinos have 'emigrated' to the US , don't you ? It is so bloody easy .... once you get in...you're in .

A great country once, now going down the toilet .

Jim Rogers and Marc Rich are typical examples of very high quality Yanks that have left the U.S. Who's next? Perhaps Bill Gates or Donald Trump?
