Now here's an immigrant who knows what he owes the good ole USA...

What Saverin owes the US
(Hint: Nearly Everything)

"When Eduardo Saverin was 13..."

So you think the government is entitled to Saverin's earnings?

He made money with his own creativity and that money belongs to him. Its a concept known as "private property".

Maybe the US should stop issuing passports and build a wall around the whole country to prevent citizens from leaving lol.

We all pay taxes our whole life. Many of us create jobs. It's not my call how much tax is enough, it's in the tax code.

He is paying taxes based on the tax code. How much US income taxes did you pay last year?

I'll put it this way, half my compensation is a yearly bonus, and a bit under two-thirds of that bonus is based on the performance of our US divisions.

You joke but sometimes it seems that is the way things are heading.

I doubt 377 thinks there should be no taxes. Maybe he thinks essential government services should be funded by a consumption tax, for example. But that would be just another way of taking away people's "private property" (and there would be bitching about that, too).
