Is US changing?

[mrnotputin]

Trump talked about 3.5% tax for all transactions from US to outside. Then revenge tax for dividends. Then nothing happened.

One can keep his money in the US as a non resident foreigner without SSN or ITIN for decades. He can use US debit and sometimes credit cards. He doesn't have to move money between countries.

This seems to be the case so far.

Do you think it would change in the future?

If yes, based on citizenship? Or residency?

This would effect which countries or political blocs in your opinion?

Anything and everything can happen in future when it comes to US right now.

If yes, based on citizenship? Or residency?

My crystal ball is too dusty

This would effect which countries or political blocs in your opinion?

Could affect any country and any block.

Trump says a lot of things. Trump actually does very few of those things. You’ll see anything real coming in plenty of time to react.

American citizens of Japanese origins were put in camps and their wealth were stolen in WW2. I wonder if they saw it coming? Any ideas?

Let's say there's new political blocs like
EU-US-Israel vs RU-TR-Iran-China

Trump isn’t FDR, in a number of ways. My Italian grandmother hurried to swear in as a US citizen in December of 1941 to avoid that possibility and I much later applied for Italian citizenship by descent so I’d have options should things change. The only thing permanent is change, especially in law and policy. You should have a number of contingency plans and watch events carefully. Governments usually move slowly enough that you can see things unfold.

Might he? Maybe. Is it happening tomorrow or even next month? No. For now, it’s only talk.

Even had the remittance taxes passed as originally written into the bill, there were many legal ways around it for men of intelligence. The intent was to harass Jose the day laborer.
