Life was better back then, Wall supporters said. The survey, conducted by the Forsa research institute for Berlin’s Free University, asked if respondents agreed with the statement "It would be better if the Wall were still there.“ In the western part of Berlin, 11 percent agreed with that statement, while in eastern Berlin, it was 12 percent, according to political scientist Oskar Niedermeyer, who reported the figures on Thursday. In the suburbs around Berlin, nine percent said the Wall’s return would be welcomed. In the parts of Brandenburg furthest from Berlin, 14 percent agreed that the former barrier was a good thing. Forsa carried out the survey at the end of March and beginning of April by pollling 2,000 residents in Berlin and Brandenburg. ...
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS: The flight option in the "fight or flight" decision has become more expensive. An "exit tax" has been passed to deter those seeking to give up their U.S. citizenship and residency.

Their rationalization for inaction often goes like this: "Well, if it really get's bad in our country, I'll just leave." We are all fortunate that their logic still works. However, the U.S. Congress has finally carried through on its threat to make the option of giving up on the United States a much more expensive proposition.

To offset the lost revenues from these tax breaks, the act includes an exit tax on citizens and long term residents of the United States, who seek to terminate their citizenship and residency status. The Exit Tax happened quickly . It was introduced on May 16, 2008. It passed with only 3 dissenting votes in the House on May 20 th . It passed in the Senate unanimously on May 22nd. All this in only 6 days.
