51. giving back is not tyranny
again, if you wish to not give back to the system which allowed you to become successful in the first place - or your parents to do so, as the case may be - then go ahead and renounce your citizenship. I am fine with that, honestly.

And unlike the other reply, I am not trying to "redistribute anyone's wealth" (as much fun as it is to read rightwing smear tactics on an allegedly Democratic board...), i am saying that if the very system which gave you the opportunity to succeed is no longer important to you once you have succeeded then go ahead and abandon it.
