This news story basically talks about U.S citizens renouncing their citizenship.

They are doing this mainly because they live overseas but still have to pay

U.S taxes. Another problem for some people is that they barely ever lived

here, but are still required to pay even if they only lived here a few years.

Whatever the problem is, this is the highest number of renouncements ever.
