THEY TOLD ME IF I VOTED FOR MCCAIN, AMERICANS WOULD BE SHUNNED ABROAD — And they were right!

American expatriates are fast becoming the world’s financial refugees. Onerous legislation from the U.S. government is making it too difficult – and too expensive – for banks to service U.S. citizens that live abroad. Expats are being left with a fast diminishing range of options. An increasing number are taking the most drastic step and renouncing their citizenship.

Ouch.
