Regard the title of the thread 
I had originally thought that the reason as to why there isn’t an uproar is because -maybe- most people who are aware of the legislation (EX-PATRIOT) think that it won’t pass anyway. That was until I saw the comment sections of various MSM outlets posting articles relevent to Saverin’s citizenship status. Most people, on those MSM outlets, are under the impression that Saverin owes them (through the state) money. Some people I know are even calling Saverin’s intentions “fraud,” “insider trading” or an example of what happens with “asymmetric information.”
Saverin has been the CFO of facebook since the beginning- he has helped to create one of the greatest (in terms of number of people using it) inventions of the 12 years that have so far been the 21st century. Facebook is up on the internet and membership of it is absolutely free of cost. I don’t have to pay anything and I can conveniently connect to friends around the world through typed chat, pictures and even video chat (we were just beginning to grasp the technology of mobile phones less than 20 years ago- and they were not convenient to carry either). Does anyone stop to consider how amazing that is? We went from gargled voices on a brick of a “phone” to being able to have a face-to-face conversation with someone on the other side of the world. And these advancements are made because of entrepreneurs like Saverin and Zuckerberg- yet these are the people that the state hates: Saverin and Zuckerberg owe us.
So this legislation seems to be a childish Oh yeah? reaction to a grown up big enough to, metaphorically, walk away from confrontation. Seriously, is Saverin the only person to revoke citizenship so that he isn’t faced with severe taxation? Isn’t such an action the origin of the United States- something similar was done in 1776, no? I mean, am I reading it right when these articles say that Schumer and Casey are trying to lay taxes on people who are no longer citizens? And that EX-PATRIOT will affect those who have already terminated their citizenship? Does any other country do either? Please, someone tell me how this is the “land of the free.”
