Income tax rates on all other income are about 25% higher in the UK than the US. Plus, there's a 17% Value Added Tax on all purchases. Unless poker is your sole source of income, you're better off tax-wise in the US.

I was reading someplace in the virgin islands they dont tax you on gambling and capital gains. I guess thats the place to live if you are a day trader/online snger.

This is the worst insult ever, especially because it is completley obvious that the country is not better off without him. He's worth 100k to them! Also, those are good reasons to not want to pay tax to the US government. You don't agree?

Now if he were saying, "yeah, I want to buy a new Fararri, but damnit I just bought a house in the bay area and I don't know if I'll be able to afford both at once. But I could if I didn't have to pay tax!" then you can call him a douche.

That's completely your opinion. Personally, I prefer the benefit of having one less ignorant, liberal idiot calling himself an American vs. whatever taxes he would be paying.

I don;t often agree with kane, but I'll support anyone's efforts to keep their hard-earned money out of the hands of the thieving scum we call government.
