BTW third year in a row that a Republican office complimented us and said we were better than lobbyists!

I have no intention of leaving Europe as a stage inhabited by herbivores, only for carnivores to come and devour according to their agenda. As Europeans, we must be clear-sighted, ambitious, and determined about our own agenda—an agenda of sovereignty.

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.

Eurofederalism or Die Trying is here. The Union needs to step up and be a military and geopolitical player, yesterday.

It’s now or never. Europe, unite! 🇪🇺

Like it or not, @DemsAbroad will have to grapple in the midterms with the reality that Trump made a big commitment on overseas tax issues & Harris didn’t. Our party’s continued relevance now depends on getting Democrats to step up and show leadership on overseas issues.

“When problems are neglected, they metastasize into grievances. And grievances can be weaponized in service of reactionary goals. The solution, then, is almost comically simple: Don’t neglect the problems.” —@RichardvReeves for @politico

It's time for us to just be honest. This version of the Democratic Party is arrogant and patronizing, taking minority voters for granted and treating them like children. Well, maybe minority voters aren't into that.

“We can identify no other Information Collection from the federal government whose compliance burden leads to citizens facing such extreme choices.”

I feel like this a fun question for #TaxTwitter: Does the 877A Expatriation Tax still apply when someone is denaturalized?

3. While some news outlets have been branding this as a tax handout, the internal IRS watchdog has been putting out some very high quality reports that make it clear that the current system is in need of change: https://t.co/UWHX2kQllY https://t.co/HDYTMtOsyv

@NicklesLee @Keith__REDMOND I realized that a few years ago and it let me look at different proposals in a different light. I also realized us working class were being scooped up as pawns from which we would benefit, but the people leading the charge would mightily and disproportionately benefit

It’s a solid piece, touching on the de minimis revenue involved, the severe impacts to Americans abroad, and the room for bipartisan action on overseas issues. @ACAVoice and @ProfRuthMason’s commentary is 👌🧑‍🍳 here.

And now for a break from tax stuff

Somehow it’s okay to have a wide-open (and politically tolerable) exemption from federal taxation for residents of Puerto Rico, but when it comes to overseas Americans, even a mandatory pension must be brutally punished.

Residence Based Taxation is a distinctly working and middle class oriented tax measure that is unattractive for people with large sums of money. The harms of CBT start to evaporate around a net worth of $500K, and it can be exploited as a tax avoidance scheme from around $1M

The extra tax compliance burdens imposed on Americans abroad are so cumbersome that the National Taxpayer Advocate regularly cites this issue as one of the ten most serious problems encountered by taxpayers annually.
