Denise Rich just sold her apartment for $50 and giving up citizenship
 

Denise Rich just sold her apartment for $50 million to David Geffen and is moving to Europe where she will renounce her citizenship to save on taxes.

Anyone see the irony of HER doing that?

The Geffen connection is odd too since he used to be a Clinton supporter and now despises him over another pardon Clinton did not grant.

Whatever, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Anyone who does this should not be welcome back in the US. Ever.

:thumbsup

I always thought she was such a genius, o well, another hero disgraced...

They would need to go through the immigration procedures like everyone else. They will be let in if they are a benefit for the society... seems fair to me :-)

It rememinds me this story:

Any relation to Richie Rich?

Epitome, Who did Clinton not Pardon that upset Geffen so much?

Leonard Peltier

Geffen's wikipedia entry has a summary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Geffen

He was an early financial supporter of President Bill Clinton. In 2001 he had a falling out with the former president over Clinton's decision to not pardon Leonard Peltier, on whose behalf he had lobbied the President.

Geffen was an early supporter of Barack Obama for president and raised $1.3 million for Obama in a star-studded Beverly Hills fund raiser. On February 21, 2007, in an interview with Maureen Dowd of the New York Times, Geffen described Hillary Rodham Clinton and Bill Clinton in unflattering terms: "Everybody in politics lies, but they do it with such ease, it's troubling." He said that Hillary Clinton was "incredibly polarizing" and described Bill Clinton as "reckless" and cast doubt on those who say he has become a different person since leaving office.

Along with other celebrities including Steven Spielberg and Brad Pitt, Geffen donated money to stop Proposition 8 from becoming law in California.

About Leonard Peltier: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Peltier

Leonard Peltier (born September 12, 1944) is a Native American activist and member of the American Indian Movement (AIM). In 1977 he was convicted and sentenced to two consecutive terms of life imprisonment for first degree murder in the shooting of two Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents during a 1975 conflict on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

Peltier's indictment and conviction has been the subject of much controversy; Amnesty International placed his case under the "Unfair Trials" category of its Annual Report: USA 2010, citing concerns with the fairness of the proceedings.

Richie Rich's cousin Marc Rich.

nice views but kitschy

The ONLY reason I read this thread is because the title said
$50 - NOT $50 MILLION!!
:fail:

Denise Rich? DENISE RICH??!! The hell you say.

DENISE fucking RICH???!!!


... never heard of her.

haha yeah sorry, mobile fail.

so why is everyone leaving ? haven't they been to Detroit ? it's a "free country" right ? who cares. stop getting your gestapo panties in a twist

Good for her. :2 cents:

Record numbers of people are renouncing their US citizenship and leaving. Those who have eyes and are not blinded by propaganda and ridiculous patriotism can see the ship is sinking and there are better alternatives. It is no coincidence that those with substantial amounts of money are leaving first. They always do. That should be your first hint that something is wrong.

Good read: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ing-taxes.html

Why is that? As an American I would figure you support freedom. "Land of the free" is America's slogan, is it not? But that is typical American behavior, to only support freedom for Americans, and not those who choose to not be part of the American system.

Did she have a choice where she was born? No, she did not. Why shouldn't she be allowed the choice of where to live and what country to become a citizen of? To not have such a choice would mean she is a slave. Thankfully, she has that choice. So you either support her freedom to choose, or you support her enslavement.

Now she can return on a visa just like all the others who visit the USA and not have to be taxed to death in the process. It's the smart thing to do if you have the means to do it.

why don't you get mad at all the companies you patronize that moved all their shit overseas. anybody get it yet ? ... of course you don't. join the army. you're being robbed and distracted with bullshit. they own the media and you suck it hardcore :1orglaugh

Fuck America. Every sane person with money has either left or is looking for a way to leave.

get mad at something that matters for once fuckin homos

:2 cents:

No one cares about that or the fact that the jobs went with those companies and are never coming back. But when John Doe leaves, he's a traitor who should never be allowed back into the USA for as long as he lives.

The mindset of many Americans defy logic.

You mean like when the Mac store sells out of the latest iPhone? Cause that really pisses me off after waiting in line for 5 hours to get one.

we're fucked

This is when I get mad, when someone is trying to get my discounted 4gb memory card and 50% off blender.

Why are you taking this personally?

It's her life, her property, her decision.

Did she steal something? Did she maim someone? Did she commit murder? Did she rape someone?

i don't understand this

Because you're not a patriot.

Denise Esineberg could give 2 shits about USA - she got her glencore cash years ago

Fuck David Geffen.
