Tina Turner surrendering US passport - avoids taxes in Switzerland

What's love got to do with it, indeed:

Of course, if you do have to leave the US, Switzerland is a great choice.

I can understand living abroad; but why give up the US citizenship ?

Was it a requirement of Swiss citizenship?

But I strongly suspect it was necessary to avoid any and all tax liabilities in the US.

The IRS can't touch her now.

She will not be the last "evil rich person" to do it either.

Speaking of Tina Turner, that reminds me of what an evil SOB Obama is, and don't forget his lunatic pastor, Jeremiah Wright.

So as one of the celebrity elites, Tina Turner campaigned/endorsed Obama for president, electing a big spending Marxist whose agenda was to redistribute the wealth of American citizens.... succeeding in getting Obama elected, Turner bails out on America (to protect her own wealth), and leaves us middle class citizens with the Obama misery and debt ???

Great. Fuck Tina Turner

The wealthy leftists like to ENDORSE entitlement programs - because they are "for the people" don't you know. They just don't like to PAY for them.

They like cheap grace.

I suspect when Obama is finished "transforming" America (translation: bankrupting us)...he will do a "Tina Turner"...........pack his bags and move to Mecca to live out his days in happiness.......

There is no income or property taxes in Saudi Arabia......Michelle likely won't be going.

she must of tired of the whining.

My grandmother's family left there to become US citizens.

If you are a member of the Swiss Army....you keep your "fully automatic assult weapon" with you at home.

Btw........every able bodied man is a member of the Swiss Army.
