Repeal #FATCA end #CBT save Americans Abroad
NEW VIDEO! What it's like as an American abroad with TAXES. I explain how the US doubly taxes all expats and even penalises you for marrying non-Americans. It's WILD. youtu.be/4l2RDCx2YnA

The insults and injuries of U.S. tax laws for American citizens abroad go well beyond double taxation. FATCA has deprived many American citizens outside the United States of basic banking services because foreign banks see Americans as a risk. #taxfairnessnow #enddoubletaxation #fatca #fbar #USAbroad #GILTI #expats @WaysMeansCmte @WaysandMeansGOP @SenFinance @YourVoiceAtIRS @RepLaHood @SenToddYoung

Who knew that Americans and Eritreans had so much in common? It turns out that both countries treat their citizens who live abroad badly. Very badly. #EndDoubleTaxation #USAbroad #FATCA #TaxFairnessNow #Expats taxfairnessabroad.pulse.ly/7…

This is a wonderful promise by President Trump. A powerful tool to expand american influence in the world. It did not “fit” in the constraints of the first big Beautiful Bill, but one hopes the next one.
Replying to @RedLineReportt
Toward end of mail-in ballots! @realDonaldTrump NO DOUBLE Taxation of Americans Abroad! Fulfill your campaign promise! > Put it in Executive Order! @TaxFairUSAbroad @RepLaHood @SenToddYoung @SolomonYue @GroverNorquist @GOPIsrael @ExpatriationLaw x.com/RedLineReportt/status/…

No vote = one less excuse for wrecking lives all over the world with absurd US taxation claims #CBT #FATCA. If it's that important to you, go live in the USA and take your US laws and tax code with you.

I would be more than willing to accept that if the nightmare of #CBT, #FATCA were ended.

ICYMI, Rep. Jeff Hurd of Colorado has introduced the Holy Sovereignty Protection Act to ensure Pope Leo XIV doesn't have to file US tax returns or give up his US citizenship. @RepLaHood #USAbroad #Expats
Excited to introduce two important bills: the Holy Sovereignty Protection Act and the Hauling Exemptions for Livestock Protection Act. These bills reflect the kind of leadership I believe in—protecting faith from government overreach and standing with the hardworking families who keep our rural communities strong in #CO03.

Claude @ClaudeAI Hello, Please affirm or enhance the responses from Grok and Perplexity, on how best to: Leverage into enactment the campaign promise of @realDonaldTrump to End Double Taxation on our citizens abroad ? Like the meme @GroverNorquist x.com/AskPerplexity/status/1…
You're right to focus on how to turn Trump’s explicit pledge to "End Double Taxation on our overseas citizens" into action—there’s real momentum and bipartisan interest around this once-taboo issue. The clearest pathway is to organize visible grassroots support for the reintroduction and passage of the LaHood Residence-Based Taxation bill, which aligns directly with this campaign promise and would exempt compliant long-term expats from taxation on foreign-earned income. To make a difference: 1) Contact your congressional representatives urging them to co-sponsor the new RBT legislation—personal stories matter here, since many in Congress don’t realize the scope of expat tax pain. 2) Join or amplify efforts by Tax Fairness for Americans Abroad, ACA, and other advocacy groups—they coordinate outreach and track legislative progress. 3) Engage both parties: While Trump and Republicans have led the charge, bipartisan backing is critical for success, so let DemsAbroad, RepOverseas, and non-partisan groups know your support. 4) Sign or circulate petitions, participate in letter-writing and social media campaigns—showing broad, organized demand will help politicians prioritize this. Last but not least: keep up pressure as Congress moves past budget bills since the RBT fix will require sustained, unified advocacy from Americans worldwide to push it over the line.

A trip down memory lane. On May 14, 2014 I was one of the witnesses in Canada's FINA hearings discussing the #FATCA IGA which Canada legislated into existence. I would say exactly the same thing today about @citizenshiptax and #FATCA today. citizenshipsolutions.ca/2025…

Important to understand Hurd bill - H.R. 4501 - is NOT restricted to a Papal exemption on foreign source income. It’s an exemption from Subtitle A of the IRC which is exemption from tax on ALL income (including US source). But this will NOT solve Pope Leo’s problem because … 1/
Policy to exempt US citizens from #taxation on their foreign income should be available for all Americans living abroad not just the Pope. @ACAVoice continues to advocate for Americans Abroad 24/7 for #RBT in DC buff.ly/DTEJdB8 #expats #AmericansOverseas #TaxReform

Finally a bill relieving the pain of world wide income taxation for US expats. Oh wait... It only helps US expats who become Pope. You read that right... Not even all clergy members. 9 million Americans abroad, 1 person gets relief. Makes perfect sense... #TaxTwitter #USExpats
It's fascinating! @RepJeffHurd proposes exemption for U.S. citizen Pope Leo from US @citizenshiptax. But, why a "carve out" for one person? If it's bad for one U.S. citizen, it's bad for all! Join our X Spaces discussion: Wed July 30/25 - 11 am EDT time or 16:00 GMT. x.com/i/spaces/1ZkKzYRNeOXxv

Fascinating thread which demonstrates the horrible compliance process and costs caused by US income fax system. (Far worse for #Americansabroad.) The income tax is simply not sustainable. @FairTaxOfficial
Met this morning with a local accounting firm probably 4x my size. They're dumping a few hundred thousand bucks in 1040 clients this year. I'll stand to benefit, but it's getting tough out there to just be a Joe Schmuck needing just a 1040 done. #TaxTwitter

Great conversation today with @ExpatriationLaw @TAPInternation and @backpacker_btc about this, ahem, "unique" bill. American dual citizens and Americans living abroad may want to tune in.

Historic day when @RepJeffHurd raises awareness about the problems of CBT & FATCA with the example of the Pope Thanks for moving this very serious issue in the public domain! cc @WaysMeansCmte @WaysandMeansGOP

Replying to @RepJeffHurd
If an American Pope deserves a tax exemption while leading abroad, so do Americans born abroad who never lived in the U.S. Citizenship-based taxation punishes people with zero ties. End it. #TaxFairness #FATCA #CBT #AccidentalAmericans cc @RepLaHood hurd.house.gov/media/press-r…

I tried to comment on your discussion about this but could only pop in for a few moments. Why should the Pope be above the law? There are no carveouts in the world that will make @citizenshiptax acceptable without making 2nd class citizens of others. We are all God’s children.
