They can go to switzerland or Dubai but if they are US citizens they still gotta pay US taxes. If they renounce citizenship they have to pay tax on unrealized gains plus the next 10 years in income taxes. Oh well. let them go.

Janet (wife) just sent me this from work. Good stuff in Economist both on economy and election, but from a CNN article on why we won’t have the Depression comes this quote (apparently the line forms on the left and the right) Jerry Howard, CEO of the National Association of Home Builders, said the Wall Street bailout is crucial, even though he doesn't believe it will solve the credit crunch that was hitting his members before the crisis started. For this reason, Howard said as soon as Congress returns to work from its upcoming recess, his trade group will be asking for another package of between $40 billion and $90 billion directed towards the housing market.
