Hey, that's a good point. Maybe I should just keep my permanent residence and not bother to get citizenship? Although, I think it is pretty easy for a naturalised citizen to give up their citizenship. Presumably if someone wants to remain American even if they live abroad, they do so because they like it, therefore won't complain about paying taxes --- and getting SS benifits etc., later ?? How does Turq do it? He doesn't pay taxes in the US otherwise they would find out where he is. OffWorld
