Poll question: Should I relinquish my US citizenship?
We are moving back to Japan permanently in two weeks' time. For personal, and financial reasons mostly, but I am eager to get out of the US due to the present socio-political climate as well. I hate that I share a country with Freeper filth.

But what I'm wondering is this? Should I relinquish my US citizenship to become a Japanese citizen, thus save the trouble of having to go renew my visa every 3 years at the immigration and fully commit to living there, or should I keep my US citizenship so I can vote in US sham elections, and come back to visit without any hassle at immigration?

2. If you don't mind "rabbit hutch" housing!
Okay, so my wife's hometown is not Tokyo, and it's not quite that cramped. It is a bit of an adjustment though.

I lived there until from 1995-2000, and I never thought I'd miss it, but I really really do. It's not for everyone, though...
