Do you realize how tough it is to get away from the USA.

My niece was born in the States but came back to Canada when she was less then a year ago. Then two years ago they said she hasn't been paying her US income tax for the last 25 years. Ummmm how much income tax does a I year ago have?????
Anyway she has been jumping though hoops getting her US citizenship erased, so after thousand of dollars, headaches and people saying she crazy not to what to belong 'to the greatest country in the world', She just has to wait for the IRS to say yes she owes them no money. But she is on their "Wall of shame" :-( :-P
But she can live with that. :-D

Thank god I was born next 'to the greatest country in the world' ;-)

RMS ...............

we've got friends going through that same process, although they were all adults when they came up here.

One in particular came up here to work in 1967, never earned anything in the US after that, and never thought he had to pay tax down there on the money he earned up here.

Now they're chasing him for thousands and thousands of dollars.


OH and I now come under that new Bill (??C51)................ we chose to become Canadian citizens but were born elsewhere, and could be removed from the country if Harper's assurances about it only being used for terrorism are ignored by some future government.

Our Canadian-born daughter also could be in danger if she misbehaves

Yeah, I always thought I was safe from being thrown out because I was born here, So where would your daughter and I go? :-S

you'd get returned to the country of your parents! **


sooooooooooo



you'd better behave, or else :-D




** if they'd have either of you, of course :-)
