Please do. Everything else you've said is wrong so it should be funny...
Oy, I just don't have time for all of that. Why don't you ask me to teach you a whole year's worth of kindergaren lessons instead??
Here's the highlight reel:

Maybe it's not so great an idea for most people? I mean if it was, don't you think Sergey, 50 cent, and Charlie Sheen would have done it already?
Those ppl are obviously not 'Most Ppl,' LOL.
Anyway, many of us, even me who earns far, far less than Sergey & Sheen, look down at them in terms of freedom. What good is a million bucks a week if you have to give up
all of your free time to earn it? That's not

I am 100% sure that the top 100 Richest people in the world are people you will never, ever hear of. -And they laugh every time someone mentions the "Target" richest people like Sergy, Sheen, and even Slim Carlos, who have basically trapped themselves into lives of responsibility and hard work.
-You seem really stuck on defending the masses and only considering their viewpoint, since you keep coming back to what is right for "Most People" in your explanations... Meanwhile, we're all kinda laughing at you for wanting to be like "Most People." -We want to be more like billionaire people. (The billionaires that you don't ever hear of.)

...in my (extensive) experience, the only people who worry about this offshore shit are those that aren't yet making enough to support their desired lifestyle.
This one cracks me up! I wanna post a "notsureifserious.gif" here but I can sadly tell that you are somehow.
The fact is that you need to make a lot of money, many millions, to START worrying about "this offshore shit." -There is no legit reason for it otherwise anymore, none at all.
We can no longer hide convenience money from Uncle Sam; that's all but impossible after 9/11 and especially after Obama's changes in the money-tracing laws more recently.
The only time one needs to deal with offshore money now is when there are tax loopholes for big dollars, plain and simple. -Trying to do it otherwise is like riding the little yellow bus to school.

Giving up your citizenship and living in some shitty 3rd world country is not the answer.
It may not be for those who are brainwashed into thinking the USA is a 1st world country and the rest of the world is made up of 2nd & 3rd world countries.
Look around you; this board is full of people who have ALREADY LEFT the US... I have spent months at a time in Europe and Thailand... And I plan to fully leave it as soon as it makes financial sense for me as well.

I think you'd be hard-pressed to find many successful US-born entrepreneurs or high net worth individuals who have given up their US citizenship and moved abroad just to save on taxes.
-Another classic. Sig-worthy, even.
I am confident in saying that there are more than a couple or three.
(And that may just be in this thread!) In fact just a day or two ago someone here posted a link to an article saying that the US Embassies of the world are mostly BACKLOGGED with people renouncing their US citizenship, because they can't process them all fast enough.
The taxes here are so unfairly collected and like GeoMark said, so Unethically used, that once you get a taste of a better life with less tax outside the states, pretty much EVERYONE wants to renounce their citizenship here.

owning 2 homes 1000 miles apart and moving back and forth just to save 13.95% on your state taxes does NOT make any financial sense, nor is it very practical.
What would you rather have; 13.95% of a billion dollars, or the $500k price of 2 homes plus some yearly moving expenses? You think too small, once again.
Over and over in this thread you just keep thinking like someone who is content earning $50k a year. -Please do us and all of the future folks who read this thread a favor and
stop trying to Lower our Standards!
