Democratic Party can't get any bills passed. Did you miss the whole debacle with the dead "Build Back Better" bill? Watered down to almost nothing over many months and in the end, it failed regardless. You really expect to depend on them for anything? They only serve their donors and everything else they say is fluff. The most they can do is executive order which gets reversed when the next Republican enters office. Keep in mind each Republican that enters is getting more and more aggressive. Trump instituted a new 40 question immigration test. Doing anything other than following the law with perfection is strongly not recommended.

Your best bet is to secure 500K-1M in assets to invest in the US and use that route. I know some rich people who have given up their citizenship for tax purposes and will regain the citizenship using this route when they wish to retire in Montana.

Technically renouncing citizenship for tax purposes can make the renouncer inadmissable to the US. If the immigration authorities decide these people are inadmissable, no amount of money will get their citizenship back.

Well he paid his taxes on time every year, its just that by living in Europe most of his life, he got tired of paying the US despite not being there since childhood. I'm sure he got his ducks in a row....but is there even a way to report behavior like this anyway?
> no amount of money

There will be a way. Even if you have to get the law changed, it’ll be possible given a big enough budget
