Americans Renouncing Citizenship Surge 66%Below is an interesting comment by a reader:


In exchange for payment of taxes American citizenship used to afford the holders with certain unalienable rights such as protection from illegal search and seizures, illegal detention, torture, drone strikes etc. etc. ...
It's become slightly less attractive now that the former benefits have been stripped and you are just left paying the taxes...

I think Snowden has renounced his citizenship too. Does he count?
