Socialite Dumps US Passport and Most Taxes Too
10th July 2012
Denise Rich, the wealthy socialite and former wife of pardoned billionaire trader Marc Rich, has given up her U.S. citizenship – and, with it, much of her U.S. tax bill.
Ah. Another Republican 1%-er. The swine.
Rich, 68, a Grammy-nominated songwriter and glossy figure in Democratic and European royalty circles, renounced her American passport in November, according to her lawyer.
Wait a minute…. Democratic circles?
Marc Rich received a presidential pardon in 2001 on President Bill Clinton’s last day in office. Federal prosecutors and Congress investigated the pardon, and in 2002 a House of Representatives committee concluded Denise Rich had swayed the action through donations to the Clinton library and campaign.
Whoa….
One way or another, Obama’s ‘soak the rich’ program will make sure that American soon has no more rich to soak.
