    You don't escape your tax responsibility just because you got paid outside the U.S.

    You are a U.S. citizens the tax man wants his money.

      you dont understand taxes. you must be one of those 47 percenters the great mitt romney warned us about. the true way to avoid taxes is to renounce your citizenship and go fight on an uninhabited island. thats what smart people would do!

        My indian (******) friend moved to Jeddah from Bolton. The guy is living on hell of a nice life there...he doesnt speak arabic, only english. He earns twice what he would earn here and he barely has qualifications. The guy is a drinker, likes to smoke a lot of pot too...not religious at all. I thought when he went he would stop all that but instead he tells me it's worse there than in the west. Real decadent place. The only difference is they do it all behind closed doors. like prohibition era US.

        my sister lives in al khaima. it's cold and depressing in the uk right now, whilst she's sunning it up and earning decent money (she's an english teacher).


        You're right though, we have to pay tax in the country we live in.

        So what's the point then? Human rights >> Nice scenery

          far from the ****holes you wanted to label them as.
          the UAE is the 9th best place to live in the world, ahead of the US btw.

                  Imagine calling the UAE a ****hole country. I am pretty sure most of the people living in your ****hole country would have no problem moving to the UAE. As it is a less of a "****hole" than your country.

                    I know there's a card there like 1-2 a year why wouldn't it be more popular saves money for everyone.

                    They would be taking home a much larger purse. Since no tax. Most fighters are taxed around 40% depending on the state (USA). I dont know about Europe. But it would be close to that of the US.

                    Lets say a fighter has 1 million USD purse in the US. After paying everything. He takes home around 450,000 USD. In other 45% of the purse.

                    Now lets compare that to Saudi Arabia, UAE or Monaco. Where there is no income tax. The fighter would be walking home with around 65-70% of the purse or easier said 650,000-700,000 USD.
                    There are many laws in regards to making income and where you make it.

                      And you can come to my ****hole country and call it a ****hole all you want.

                      What would happen if I went to that ****hole and called it a ****hole?
