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.
