If you are super Rich, Why not just leave the US and have a permanent Vacation?

Why do you need to be super rich? People on SS do it all the time.

MONEY.
The government does everything it can to weasel Your money out of you. They even charge you a fee to leave the US or tax you if you work overseas. The rich take from government not give.

Fun fact!
The name Jeep came from the abbreviation used in the army for the "General Purpose" vehicle, G.P.

Where would you, personally, go?

Lots of wealthy, and not-so-wealthy Americans do this.

people already left the states many years ago.

already left, we knew about this 4 years ago

I did. It's awesome.

I spend about 3 months in a country and then move on to another one.

I'm not rich....yet, but even when/if I get to that point, I don't know anywhere I would rather be. I mean there are other cool places to visit...but to live, I'd rather be here than anywhere else.

The almost unique problem for Americans (it also, theoretically, affects Filipino/na expats, too) is that your government regards you as property, to be milked of your income wherever you may reside.

Almost all other nations tax their citizens based on place of residence.

For example, when I worked in the Middle East, I established non-residency for UK tax purposes, and got to keep everything I earned (there are no personal taxes in most ME countries).

Even if an American decides to renounce his/her citizenship, the IRS still goes after them for 10 years after the renunciation.

I would, except the health care is horrible in those warm countries. Personal experience: Rich Cousin moved to Phillippines, married a hot girl half his age, got Dange fever, recovered, then got it again, supposedly from the blood transfusions from the first run, died. I'd rather get screwed by our government then get a fatal disease.

Wow, yeah but if you had like say 20 million in savings sitting there. Why would anyone still keep a company when they could just leave? If you are getting taxed like half of what you make, what's the point?

Well, i used that thinking about business owners who stay in business even after they are taxed out the ass. I just dont know why anyone would keep a company going here if they already had enough to live comfortably for the rest of their life.

Fiji, then move around. Not sure i would "live" anywhere. i think I would just rent houses, stay for awhile and then try someplace new.

I love the US, but if i had a business and the Govt was taxing me 50% for what I make, I'd sure as hell just close down before i gave 50% of my profit to the Govt just because i was more successful and worked harder than someone else. That's complete BS

And "Fair Share"

Think about that for a minute. So poor people vote for someone who wants to tax the shit out of the rich. So the poor are voting to take the rich people's money. Voting for someone who will give them, (Steal for them)money someone else earned.

If someone is already rich, they aren't suffering. The taxes have already been paid. There is no 'wealth tax'.

Why do you think all those uber-rich folks are hobnobbing with P'BO? Rarely do they have any what we would consider normal taxable income. That's why the tax the rich, class warfare game has those supporters.

The tax-the-rich just keeps new rich people out of the club.

(and there's not enough money there to do squat with the federal budget anyway)

If you had this mentality, my guess is you wouldn't be "super-rich" or as soon as you had enough wealth to live on comfortably, then you would sell out/bug out.

For most elitists its the control and feeling more powerful than others, they need the exposure its part of their identity to feel dominant.

The US is the only country in the world that steals tax from you if you have income from anywhere else in the world. Relinquish your citizenship is the ONLY way out

Great point

Is there a way to retire from the U.S. to another county and not have to legally pay taxes at all? I do mean legally, I'm too pretty for jail.
