When Donald Trump became President, many people thought the election would bring about long-awaited U.S. tax reform in the United States.

But not everyone.

According to federal government records, a record 5,409 Americans renounced their citizenships in the year 2016, including a whopping 2,364 in the final quarter of the year alone. That's a more than 26% increase from the 4,279 who handed in their passports in 2015.

The cause of the defections, which led the U.S. to say so long last quarter to everyone from Jonathan Abbis to Anna Zwirner, is primarily the U.S. tax system.

The first part of the heading had me thinking that this would be about the diaper dopers who threatened to leave the country. lol

Turns out that it's just about people living under an oppressive tax system.

Fix this, President Trump.
 
I am always impressed by how much some people will sacrifice to make America a better place......everyone of those 5409 people has my personal thanks......
