While I generally have been supportive of Bernie&#x27;s stance on things, it&#x27;s disturbing to hear that he supports FATCA.<p>I went digging for more information and it seems that he now is potentially supportive of residence based taxation instead of citizen based taxation.<p>From reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;expats4sanders, <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.democratsabroad.org&#x2F;our_candidates" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.democratsabroad.org&#x2F;our_candidates</a><p>There are many different scenarios which the law as it currently stands do not adequately cover for.<p>Scenario:<p>* Parent gains US citizenship through immigration. Parent inherits from grandparents.<p>* Person gains US citizenship through immigration. Person inherits from parents foreign bank accounts.<p>* Based on my understanding, US now has a claim on monies which have at no point entered the US, nor have been derived from US related activities.<p>* This is crazy.<p>I&#x27;m totally fine with paying taxes on income derived from being in the US but to have to pay US taxes on income derived elsewhere is just insane overreach.
