Did you know that if you no longer want to be a US Citizen you will have to pay out the nose for it? According to the Heroes Act of 2008 you will. Passed on June 17, 2008 one section of the act will force,
“…anyone voluntarily giving up his or her citizenship will be taxed on ALL of his assets as if he or she had sold them — paying capital gains on assets that have increased in value, even though they have not been sold.”
A neat little plug-in for Wordpress written by Luke Howell, and written well from what I can tell with my idots knowledge of CSS and PHP. After instalation there is an option to donate to his cause. The cause of “I don’t want to die.”
Which I think is a pretty good cause.
And a special thanks to Gthing who turned me on to the plugin.
Thanks to Justin I am *going* to become a member of the Pirate Party of Utah! I would encourage you all to join- we need 2000 members to become official. Fight for your fair use rights or they will be taken away!
P.S. I have copyrighted the name Steve, so you all need to pay me $.05 every time you say my name. I have others out there to inforce it so you will be sued if you don’t pay up.
*As noted in the comments of this post someone from the party will have to collect your signature if you would like to join. I believe someone is coming to Cookie Night if you are interested. Thanks Sam.
I met this really hot girl at Smiths with Sam the other day. I think she’s going to go out with me this weekend. We are in love. This is the head shot she give me.
You can see that Sam mentioned the situation here at the bottom of the post.
