See, I always thought that socialism degenerates into tyranny.

My socialist country didn't even allow people to travel - to prevent capital flight and brain drain - and now you are proposing to basically close borders to some people until you buy your own freedom.

That's scary as hell and a return back to 1920s.

Ha, shows what you know about capitalism.

America is one of the only countries to tax their citizens income abroad.

This would affect 0.001% of people who had managed to capture a huge amount of wealth and were attempting to avoid taxes.
