How about we let Saverin go, declare war on Singapore, conquer it in about a minute and a half, then seize all his assets as reparations?

Leave it to the Republicans to equate renouncing your citizenship and leaving the country with patriotism and the American Way.

Frank N Stein: Make More Hinjews: Liberalism = Government
Lack of Government = Good
Social Darwinism = Good

I learned some things today!

/ I'm just saying, they miss you over at Stormfront.

// That's all I'm saying.

I'm not saying what's good or bad. That argument hinges on the fact that government isn't human's natural state.

And you can go fark yourself with your stormfront accusation.


I'm sorry, I just got confused by your vocabulary. I haven't heard somebody praise "social Darwinism" so nonchalantly since my last meeting of the German-American Bund.

My mistake!

dookdookdook: Norquist told The Hill: "I think Schumer can probably find the legislation to do this. It existed in Germany in the 1930s and Rhodesia in the'70s and South Africa as well. He probably just plagerized it and translated it from the original German."
...
UPDATE: A member of Norquist's team denies the comparison to Nazism. "Schumer's claim about Grover's comments are simply not true," Americans for Tax Reform communications director John Kartch said in an email. "He did not compare the Ex-Patriot act to Nazism."

Reality has a well known liberal bias.

I can't decide in which way Norquist is wrong here. While he didn't explicitly state Nazi Germany, he said 1930's Germany, which just screams Nazi. However, then he only mentions East Germany, which was under Soviet control, Soviet-style exit taxes, and Communist education. However, East Germany didn't exist in the 1930's.

Maybe he should have paid more attention in history class instead of writing his little pledge.

Frank N Stein: Hmmm. Upon rereading, that came out worse than I thought. I'm trying to just do a little philosophical thought exercise, but this paragraph can be debunked pretty easily.

For shame, me.

Your post was bad, and you should feel bad.

Only the current GOP would compare trying to close a tax loophole with the holocaust. This type of greed is evil.

Corporatists: American debts, Global profits!

Sock Ruh Tease: Mearen: The entire premise of the law is flawed. There are other reasons to give up citizenship.

Yeah, like not loving America enough to stay.

I'd like to know: why do Republicans want to protect people that hate America?

To be fair, what has America done for him lately? Besides providing him the educational and financial environment to make billions of dollars. That was so last week.

Summercat: Didn't Saverin move to Singapore in '09?>

Sometime just after mid-January?

That Saverin guy's an asshole, bailing on this country to avoid paying capital gains taxes, of all things. The guy's a billionaire, and thinks 15% on his latest boondoggle's just way too burdensome, because he's super rich, and therefore better than us plebes. But instead of this law, why not just frame him for child molestation, human organ harvesting, human trafficking, and drug dealing? I'm sure the CIA could pull it off, easily. For that matter, the CIA should do things like that more often, it would make them way cooler.

/C'mon CIA, be cool man!

Babwa Wawa: This equally applicable both sides - the right will get jumped on for pointing out the similarities between the left's gun policies and fascist gun policies.

Of course this is an utterly dishonest comparison with no basis in historical reality.

Why Nazi's, why not slavery????

Oh yeah.

I'm amazed at how many things are analogous to Hitler and Nazis. Such as Grover Norquist is like Hitler because he's a vile little man that spews repugnant half truths to suit his own narrative.

If the tax system wasn't setup to allow the mega-wealthy to avoid paying taxes while they live here, then the circumstances of their leaving wouldn't matter and there's be no need to try and tax them or otherwise penalize them as they make their getaway renounce their citizenship and leave the country.

Is it just possible that Republicans may soon realize that they've been sticking their dick in the crazy for the past 20 years?

They just know that Rulers don't have to be bound by rules meant for Servants.

Conservatives finally admit that the PATRIOT Act was bad?

Because they pay them and bring them on trips and totally like them.

"When even Speaker Boehner feels free to openly disagree with Grover Norquist, it is official that literally no one cares what Norquist thinks on this issue,"

LOL

Thank goodness Frank Gaffney has exposed Norquist as being a stooge of the Muslim Brotherhood.

/stirring the shiat

I still can't believe that 90% of all republicans continue to slob this clown's knob.

Yeah, but Grover didn't actually compare Schumer or the Ex-Patriot Act to the Nazis. He just said that it was a bill that 1930's Germany, whose government was controlled by the Nazis, would pass and be proud of. There's a huge difference between the two.

You know something is bullshiat when Grover Norquist says it.
