You can give me 5% of your 15% for having read to the end! OK Make it 3%. I got some laughs out of it.

You made a complex topic easy to read (and a boring one entertaining) - quite an accomplishment! I know a couple Canadians who spent 25k each to denounce their citizenship for this very reason! And what baffles me is why the US does not allow dual citizenship when they have this rule, so can be making money from it . Or maybe the dual citizenship policy has changed in the US? Another article idea? 😁

I tried to say it 3 times fast but I couldn't. Maybe more practice is in order. By the way, you have just saved me zero in taxes. :) You see, I don't have anything fancy enough to qualify. I'm pretty much hanging out on SS. Anyway, fun read as always Mike, many thanks. Plus you reminded me that April is coming and even though my tax burden isn't actually a burden because it's zero, I still have to file. Boo.

Thanks, Victor. What’s 15% of 0? Enjoy the filing - although I think they extended the deadline to some time in October this year. Or maybe I dreamt that...

Oh, in that case maybe I have more time to put it off until the last minute :) Every year I say I'll get it over with early and guess what....
