Benedict Arnold billionaires who wanted to abandon their United States citizenship are not going to be able to do it and get away with it and take their money with them. Now. that is the bottom line. If that is what we are being characterized. if our actions are being characterized in that manner as being chutzpahs. as having some gall. it seems to me the real gall is to think that someone can renounce their citizenship. can take their money with them. and we are supposed to treat them as if they were a refugee. I coined that phrase Benedict Arnold billionaires. and if this is going to be the thirteenth time we are going to be defeated on trying to get billionaires to pay their taxes. then let it be. and let the opprobrium fall on the opposition.
