Following Eduardo Saverin’s decision that he no longer wanted to be an American citizen in May– possibly to save tens of millions in taxes– notable socialite and top Democrat donor Denise Rich has followed suit, according to reports.
Though she was nominated for a Grammy for her songwriting, Rich is probably best-known as the ex-wife of Marc Rich, who fled the United States in 1983 when indicted on charges of tax evasion, fraud, racketeering and illegal trading of oil with Iran.
Marc Rich received a presidential pardon on Bill Clinton‘s last day in office in 2001 because of the couple’s generous donations to Clinton library and campaign, according to a 2002 investigation by federal prosecutors and Congress.

It is worth noting that the Rich pardon was facilitated by a DOJ official named.......
Eric Holder.

What I find interesting about these stories is that with each one that breaks there is no talk about why these people are trying to avoid taxes, about why they are willing to give up what is supposed to be the best of the best in citizenship, or about how we can fix a broken system. The thing that comes out of the great stone buildings is how we can seize assets, how we can collect taxes in advance, about how we can better penalize for successful investment, and how we can tax more in advance to hold assets in preparation for this type of thing when a person cashes out.
The one I have been waiting for is income averaging to be done away with, and/or for taxes to be increased on good years to make up for bad years ... Ooooops! That is what they are after in making the "rich" pay "their fair share." >:(
