Why Are So Many People Renouncing American Citizenship?

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-02-10/why-are-so-many-people-renouncing-american-citizenship

The number of Americans that renounced their citizenship was 221 percent higher in 2013 than it was in 2012.  That is a staggering figure, and it is symptomatic of a larger trend.  In recent years, a lot of really good people with very deep roots in this country have made the difficult decision to say goodbye to the United States permanently.  A few actually go to the trouble to renounce their citizenship, and that is mostly done for tax purposes.  But most willingly choose to leave America for other reasons.  Once upon a time, the United States was seen as "the land of opportunity" all over the globe and it seemed like everyone wanted to come here. But now that is all changing.  As we have abandoned the principles that this country was founded upon, our economy has gone steadily downhill.
