The government&#x27;s actual &quot;solution&quot; to this problem has been to raise the fee of renouncing citizenship, from $450 to $2,350. No problem for wealthy people who want to avoid tax, but quite a large burden on everyone else.<p>I plan to become a German citizen eventually, because I&#x27;m probably going to retire here. But thanks to Germany&#x27;s disallowance of naturalized dual citizenship and America&#x27;s tax complexities, that requires weighing a huge number of problems. At least my German bank (DKB) didn&#x27;t kick me out.
