Podcast: @Amy_From_Sydney and @Expatriationlaw discuss the dwindling prospects of a political solution to @citizenshiptax and the indifference @Demsabroad showed for #Americansabroad by failing to consider the @Demsabroadtax proposal for #FATCA repeal.
Good news: @Demsabroadtax had the courage to propose #FATCA repeal/resolution to @Demsabroad as a whole. Bad news: At their May 22/22 meeting DA failed to consider the issue demonstrating total indifference to the plight of #Americansabroad.
The name @Demsabroad causes #Americansabroad to think DA is an organization to represent the interests of individuals abroad. The purpose of DA is to attract votes from abroad to support @TheDemocrats who are the party of #FATCA and @citizenshiptax.
The mission of @DemsAbroad, as the arm of the @TheDemocrats is to attract votes from @USVotersAbroad. DA is constantly encouraging individuals to @VoteFromAbroad. They are will organized and "The Sun Never Sets On The DA Message". But, #Americansabroad need to think carefully.
.@Citizenshiptax enforced by #FATCA is an assault on all #Americansabroad, their families and on the sovereignty of the countries where they live. Senior Democrats - including @SenWarren and @SenWhitehouse - support both. FATCA was key legislation of the Obama Presidency.
It is telling that it has been more than 12 years since #FATCA became law. For 12 years the US Government has been content to inflict pain and harm on individuals living outside the USA. It's not that they don't care. It's that they don't care that they don't care.
.@Demsabroad claims that in 2020 the "overseas vote" delivered Georgia and Arizona to the @TheDemocrats. If that's true, then the "overseas vote" can reverse that result. Since, they won't see the light. It's time to make them feel the heat!"
The failure of @Demsabroad to consider the resolution of their own @DemsAbroadTax force to repeal #FATCA demonstrates the total indifference they have for the plight of #Americansabroad. Suggest @USVotersAbroad remember this when asked to @VoteFromAbroad.
.@Demsabroadtax led by @AbroadRebecca have shown courage and leadership in putting the #FATCA repeal resolution before @Demsabroad and deserve the thanks of all #Americansabroad. They are also swimming upstream.
The painful message is that if a political solution is possible to the problems of #Americansabroad, @USVotersAbroad must understand the solution will not come from @TheDemocrats ... seatnow.org/2021/06/14/ove…
