¿Cuánto cuesta renunciar a la nacionalidad de EU? Los impuestos y la cuota de renuncia pueden resultar bastante caras
Q
uien decide renunciar a la ciudadanía de Estados Unidos se enfrenta a una deuda en impuestos que puede durar décadas. El año pasado 3 mil estadounidenses decidieron entregar su pasaporte, orillados en parte por las nuevas regulaciones que hacen que los más de 7.6 millones de expatriados tengan que presentar declaraciones mientras vivan en el extranjero. Sin embargo, decirle adiós a EU sale caro. A principios de 2014 el gobierno incrementó la cuota para renunciar a 2 mil 350 dólares, que es cuatro veces más de lo que solía ser el costo. Además, al renunciar se les entrega una cuenta final de impuestos que en algunas ocasiones puede ser una suma millonaria. Deuda que puede durar años y hasta dé-
cadas de pagos adicionales. No obstante, a pesar de la larga deuda por delante al renunciar y entregar el pasaporte, automáticamente se pierden todos los derechos legales como ciudadano, aunque aún se esté amarrado económicamente al país. Aquellos que cuentan con activos globales con un valor mayor a los 2 millones de dólares, entre sueldos, vivienda, ahorros, entre otros,

Resolution for 2015: Save America
hen you condone senseless murderous ideology in the name of American idealism, you become an enabler of the worst kind. The inability of elected leaders to call terrorism terrorism and turn a blind eye to the war which has been declared on world civilization reflects the very worst of leadership. As we open the doors to 2015, we begin with the ruthless kidnapping and killings in Australia by a ISIS sympathizer. Australia is an advanced progressive, liberal nation more concerned with stripping citizens of their arms than noting they are being targeted by Muslim terrorists. Australian leaders are calling the sequestration of over a dozen of its citizens, two deaths and clear signs the perpetrator was a Muslim espousing support for ISIS, an isolated incident. Much as our own president alludes as “workplace violence” the Muslim soldier who killed our own troops inside an Air Force base in San Antonio, Texas. The incidents are numerous and the response from our leadership is always the same. A condemnation, a tearful sympathy for survivors and underneath the fleeting moment of silence for media photo ops, a hasty retreat to the golf course. As a nation we are being pressed into one of our greatest challenges which supersedes our colorblind ability to elect a black president, twice. While the nation regresses, the perception of racial equality is down 11% since we elected a black president. We have managed to increase world perception of American weakness, up 40%. These are not isolated numbers, these numbers are a clear reflection of a weakness in leadership by the party controlling our fate for the past six years. Starting in 2015, Republicans will be tasked to lead congress with our black democrat president still in charge. It is important to note our president has already invalidated congress and declared himself immune to constitutional law. The routinization of by passing congress by presidential decree has been established by our current president and Republicans are unable to come together to address this constitutional issue. The congressional Democrats condoned and cheered the president demonstrating the meaningless of congress, proof positive power is all about party and to hell with the nation. In principle we could argue that is what politics is all about but the clear denial and obfuscation

of our constitution which has kept our nation free can only be denied at the great risk of losing our freedoms. This cannot be overstated. Once you relinquish the Bill of Rights we cease to exist as a free nation. The question is, “ does support of a political party supersede standing up for our nation”? This is a question all of us need to ask ourselves before we go the same route as all great, now gone civilizations before us. Until we can address who we are as a nation and who is intent on destroying us, we cannot be united in our defense. Terrorists have defined themselves in their own crude murderous way and have established their God as more important than life on earth. They will vanquish any nation which vacillates in the recognition of their destructive evil, greater than the greatest of plagues. The preservation of our constitution as we have known it for 239 years will be the greatest challenge for this generation. We as a nation through our inclination to be non-racist elected a leader twice who specifically declared he had an agenda for “change”. We chose to believe it was for the good despite this nagging little voice singing “ you better watch out”. For 2015, the greatest wish for America is we come together as a nation to defeat our common enemies. It matters not your party of preference, we must not abdicate our duty as citizens to do what our leaders are not willing to do. Defending our constitution is not measured by terms in office, it is measured in the spirit of freedom, the inclination to once again be a force against the evils of society. Our men in service are a prime example we can do this. We must refrain from this ludicrous notion of appeasing the enemy by condescending, showing respect where none is deserved and attempting to understand the lunacy of decapitation for simply honoring our religious convictions. The deeply engraved dream of eradicating all Jews and infidels from the face of the earth remains as a goal in Muslim consciousness. Until we as a nation see through the fog of deceit encouraged by our leadership, we are on a one way street to self annihilation; a street being paved for us by terrorists who believe we are too cowardly to defend our honor. The shovel ready jobs were not meant to be to bury our dead. Resolution for 2015: Save America.
