No luck finding anything yet. Anyone? Anyone?

AFAIK, United states citizens living abroud do not owe taxes on income earned abroad up to $78,000 per year, which does not cover capital gains. If you know differently it would be welcomed news by me.

Admittedly I could have been more accurate, but I considered my rambling needlessly long as it was. . . . and with the what I pay in capital gain taxes… well, I don’t consider that pitiful amount “paying taxes”…

Did your parents have any children that lived?

(expats don’t pay taxes)

Too bad your unsupported assertion won’t hold water with the IRS. I’d love to tell them, “Capt. BBQ says I don’t owe you nuthin’!”

Well, you are partially right.

Kudos to the Parents and grandparents of Korea, they were the generation that worked hard and sacrificed for their children today, so that you can sit here and bitch and moan about “expats”. They are the ones who made good on the aid provided by the other countries to make a better country, so in the words of Vladimir Putin I say “good on them!”, I hope they can be proud of you. And I hope you realize how much you owe them.

Furthermore I’ll add that Koreans owe the America of today little and they owe a precious few expats anything, in fact I only know one expat here who actaully fought in the Korean War. People like my grandfather who fought for your sorry ass (not to mention the 50,000 MIA and Killed and countless others wounded) are for the most part not with us anymore.

As for me and my 3 1/2 years of service here, I don’t think I’m owed much of anything. I didn’t really fight anyone, but I am open to the occasional “thanks” for the fact that I was here to lend a hand in case the shit hit the fan… which I did get every once in a blue moon. The one getting screwed, the one who deserves something is the American Taxpayer (expats don’t pay taxes). Maybe a “thanks” to those who foot the bill for Koreas ridiculously low defense budget would be nice… don’t fall over yourself thanking people now pawi…
