The guy is a pragmatist. None of that political crap. He probably became a citizen for the money.

Or... perhaps... because he has lived there for years and has children born there? You certainly wouldn't become a US citizen for the *money*, given what the IRS does tax-wise should you ever decide to live anywhere else (think 'double taxation').

AFAIK that only applies for income over 75K or so. (I was in that situation for a couple of years and I owed no US taxes.) So if your needs are modest it's not necessarily a showstopper.
Citizen Linus Posted Sep 17, 2010 17:08 UTC (Fri) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link] What money is there in being a US citizen? As opposed to being a US permanent resident, which is what Linus was before.
