The state has the misconception that they own your body and own the land you walk on. That would be a plantation, wouldn't it?

Give Schumer your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free ... and he'll make sure they STAY that way.

Original Blog Entry: This is not how a free society treats people

This is where Eduardo Saverin comes in. The Facebook co-founder, who finds himself a few billion dollars richer this week, recently renounced his US citizenship. And, to the intelligentsia, it s not fair .

Saverin needs to pay his fair share! He owes America more, they whine, completely ignorant that the 30-year old is already forking over a $500+ million exit tax (which may end up in the billions).

Apparently it s not good enough that the company Saverin co-founded has created tens of thousands of jobs, spawned entire industries, and produced oodles of new millionaires. Oh yeah, it s also made things [] easy for the CIA, NSA, and FBI. You d think Uncle Sam would pin a medal on his chest.

But no. Saverin left behind a lot of value and decided to move on to greener pastures in Singapore. Now the do-gooders in Congress are cooking up new legislation (the EX-PATRIOT Act) designed to permanently bar renunciants like Saverin from re-entering the United States.

It s interesting that, rather than change their ways of doing business and introducing legislation that provides incentives for productive people to come here and stay here, they maintain policies that chase people away, and introduce new ones to lock the door after they re gone.

Societies that are actually free, fair, etc. don't need to constantly remind you that they are.
