Fewer Americans Renounce Citizenship

direstraitsOld Faithful

"For the first time in five years, the number of Americans renouncing their citizenship decreased in 2017, government records show.

Renunciations for the year fell 5.1 percent, to 5,133 — after a four-year climb to a record 5,411 in 2016, according to the IRS.

But the real story lies in the fourth quarter, when the number of renunciations tumbled 71 percent from the same period in 2016."

Tax cuts may be a partial reason. However, ridding ourselves of Obama and not electing Hillary had a lot to do with it. One hopes those still fleeing are Democrats.
