This is one dumb article.
Firstly it's only 1800 people. And secondly of course more people are going to renounce citizenship when the economy is bad versus 2008/9/10 when it was notably better.

This has been a topic of discussion in Canada for some time now where there are many dual citizens. I think that it is insane that even if you have not earned any income in the USA for many years you still need to file a return or face insane penalties.
I'll agree that 1800 is a number so small (three orders of magnitude smaller than the number establishing citizenship/permanent residency) that it's hardly worth a glance.
On another note, does anyone on here have multiple passports? I do and consider it my last resort in case the US becomes a full blown police state.
