Tina Turner to Renounce US Citizenship
Tina Turner is renouncing her US citizenship to become a citizen of Switzerland. I don’t know what kind of person Tina Turner is, but if she is like the majority of American celebrities the Swiss government would be wise to refuse her.
We know that when Eduardo Severin renounced his citizenship it was because of the bad economic policies here, and it was an indictment against the left. But with Tina Turner I have a feeling that it is a situation akin to liberal Californians leaving the PRC (Peoples Republic of California) for Texas because the economy and living conditions are better there, but only mucking things up a little at a time when they arrive there. Of course, when they go to Texas they generally take their liberalism with them as they fail to make the connection between the economic difficulties in California to left wing policies, or the prosperity in Texas with capitalism.
I’m wondering if this is not how it is with Tina Turner. Maybe she likes the lower taxes and safer environment (thanks to all the citizens being armed and Switzerland taking in few immigrants), but doesn’t attribute those superior conditions to right wing policies.
Again, I don’t know what kind of a person Tina Turner is but I think it’s telling that not a single Hollywood Celebrity or music artist is clamoring to get into Cuba or North Korea, or even Venezuela. You would think that if they really believed in the stuff they preach they would be dying to go to those places.
That’s all I have to say. If TT is a right wing person than I apologize for this.

I suspect we will see many defections of wealthy producers in the near future. It’s inevitable. Eventually Atlas gets tired of carrying an ungrateful world.
@blonde_apocalypse - I have thought about defecting myself.
LOL about the Californians! There are so freaking many here in Austin. Of course, Austin was already pretty liberal. I’m curious about when the city’s policies will start to drive enough people away to make a difference economically. The business that I work for is going to move in the next year or two- and my husband and I are wanting to move as well.
@WaitingToShrug - Yea I heard Austin was a liberal place. Maybe they should be kicked out of Texas. I’m thinking businesses will leave gradually, and over time the city will become PROGRESSIVELY worse. Usually that stuff doesn’t happen overnight. But once it is thoroughly run into the ground, then liberals will still not link it with their policies, and they will go out looking for another place with opportunity, which they will then proceed to running into the ground.
@Ambrosius_Augustus_Rex - It’s such a shame, because it really is a great place to live. I will miss it.
@WaitingToShrug - Chicago also used to be a great place. We are losing our country one piece at a time, but that’s their plan. They want to reduce us to 3rd world status.
