Proud to be an American?
If you could renounce your US citizenship, but still not get deported (and be able to work) would you do it?
You would be exempt from taxes, but have to pay for government services out of your own pocket.

Re: Proud to be an American?
It seems pretty dumb to be proud of something which you did not even achieve. I don't derive pride from the fact that I, like millions of others, happened to be born under the jurisdiction of a certain government. Nationalism is one of the lowest modes of thought in my opinion.

Re: Proud to be an American?
I think it's good to be proud of your country but not trust your government. But then i'm Canadian. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Proud to be an American?
I'm not proud of my country, I did nothing to earn living in it. Nevertheless, I love and respect it, and would never renounce my citizenship, certainly not for monetary purposes.

Just because the country's been run by a bunch of [censored] ups for the last 229 years doesn't mean I'm going to renounce my citizenship. [/ QUOTE ] FYP

Re: Proud to be an American?
Man...if only I could. This would be a dream come true.
Hmm...let's see...yeah, I won't have to pay for ss/medicare/iraq/every other idiotic government program I don't use. I'd probably save a good 30% of my income every year. Will
