They’re still paying it even if they don’t set foot in America
I’m sorry, everytime you reply you say a new wrong thing I have to type alot to explain. I thought there was a few things you didn’t know, but I’m not going to take the time to explain how American taxes work from ground up.
Also, the income threshold is pretty average for any senior level software engineer. You don’t need to be astoundingly rich to be on the hook.
Over $100,000/year is wealthy in America. The median income is 3/4 of that…
That tax is irrelevant. That just muddies the waters to bring up property tax because every real estate property is subject to local property tax. It’s a wash. When you buy a house, you implicitly agree to property tax wherever that house is located.
For example, two people each own identical houses. One lives in the US and one lives outside. Both decide to keep it until they die. They both owe property taxes. If the person living outside of the US renounces their citizenship, they owe an exit tax even though they did not sell the property. The value of the house didn’t change. It’s location, owner, property tax obligation… Nothing changed.
There is nothing wrong with this. It should just be applied equally. If there is going to be a wealth tax, I want it applied to wealthy Americans even if they don’t renounce their citizenship.
What?
You think Americans do t pay property tax?

This is not the same thing as an exit tax.

You flat out said it…
Fuck it, I’m just blocking, I don’t want roped into another one of these
