I just came across this article on CNN about the Depardieu saga. Whatever you think about Depardieu’s manner of reaction to the 75% tax (since blocked by the Constitutional Council of France), I thought that the comments to the article that mention US extraterritorial tax Policy, the FFIE, FTC, etc would be interesting, and I would encourage Brockers quickly to respond the the comments to the CNN article (as I have done, but awaiting moderation), in order to take the oppourtunity to speak to more Homelanders and others about the détails of the issues we face.

The French better hurry up and make their version of the Reid Amendment and the HEART Act so that they can tax Depardieu on his assets any way. If I were the actor, I’d get my ass and my assets out of France.
Some of us are going through the same thing from a similar place
