The US State Department&#x27;s own numbers show that it is not the 1% relinquishing citizenship, It&#x27;s normal Americans living and working overseas for long periods of time. These people are prevented from basic logistics required for having a life like opening and using a checking account.<p>I think of it this way: how insane would it be if my wife, a Russian citizen and US permanent resident who&#x27;s lived and worked in the US for 12 years, could not open a checking account and was required by law to file taxes to the Russian Federation for her American high school teaching job?
