On the lighter side of IRS lunacy, here’s a round-up of coverage on the Star Trek video debacle that is spreading across the universe at warp-speed. The truly head-shaking, face-palming and nausea-inducing power of this video needs to be experienced in its full, five-and-a-half-minute glory to be fully appreciated. If you haven’t heard about this thing yet then it’s time you step onto the bridge, take a seat and hang-on for the ride as the “Captain” intones:
“Space: the Final Frontier
These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise Y
Its never-ending mission is to seek out new tax forms
To explore strange new regulations
To boldly go where no government employee has gone before.”
Yeesh, and I thought some of our parody ideas have been a tad lame…

Of course, it was already obvious that libertarians oppose the “Expatriation Prevention” Act, but it’s heartening to see at least one sitting politician take a public stance against the wave of demagoguery and jingoism on which Schumer is surfing. Transcript and my comments after the jump.

Another video I came across today on the subject of taxation of U.S. Persons in non-U.S. jurisdictions, and specifically on giving up U.S. citizenship — Robert Wood talking with Scott Drake on the Legal Broadcast Network. Looks like renounceuscitizenship beat me to it and wrote about this one a few weeks ago over at his own blog! Anyway, for those of our readers who are hard of hearing or just too impatient to watch a whole video, I’ve written up a transcript — you can click “continue reading” below to see the transcript, along with my own comments. Be forewarned: you will probably find the level and tone of discussion in this video to be rather disappointing.

Via Just Me on Twitter, we learn that Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), head of the House’s Americans Abroad Caucus, posted a video of her questioning Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner on, among other things, banking issues faced by U.S. Persons in non-U.S. jurisdictions. For those of you who hate watching videos (like me), after the jump I’ve made transcript of the relevant section, which begins around 3:14.
