Still, it looks like the Republicans have started to target a group I belong to for more taxes. (They probably realized that we're less likely to vote.) This could indeed suck in the long-term. Blah.

Looks like they've got it in for us Ian.
Seriously though if this thing goes through I may just give up US citizenship altogether. In a way it wouldn't make a big difference to my life. Although I've never looked into how hard it is to get UK/EU citizenship. Any idea?
