Michelle Bachmann is now a citizen of Switzerland

[Mujo2000]

I know you are joking, at least I hope so but Switzerland has no socialist or communist government.

The "Partei der Arbeit" (communist) had 0.5 % of votes in the last election.

The "Sozialdemokratische Partei" (workers party, has some socialist tendencies, mostly in the youth organisations, but not overall) has 18.7 % and has 2 out of 7 members of the Swiss Federal Council, the rest being from center-right or right parties.

Switzerland has a very pro-private-enterprise government with many large international companies (Nestlé, UBS, CS, Roche, Novartis, ABB, etc.). These companies would not be here, if Switzerland was socialist or communist!

Ruhig Blut.

I was joking. You guys are very U.S. in your outlook on many things. That's neither good, nor bad. Just how the Swiss are.

I believe I read somewhere that the US government does not allow dual citizenship if you go into certain jobs that require higher levels of national security clearance.

As far as taxes are concerned, you would not pay income tax on your earned income while living overseas, but you'd certainly pay property taxes on any property you own in your home country, and also taxes on income you'd earned from investments in your home country. Also, I believe the US government now levies taxes on income earned overseas that you bring to the US, which I don't think it happened before.

Ofcourse Switzerland isn't communist or socialist, but look at Bachmanns and her partys standards and then look at the social security in Switzerland...

Just take the universal health care for example - That's something Bachmann is strongly against and even considers highly socialist.

Apparently that just falls under the table when she and her kids can enjoy it...

Macs to the rescue. Thank you.

Unlike the US, the Canadians have functioning and respected intelligence services

And of Course Canadian Intell doesnt have such Brilliant analysis as MI6 finding one of their agents ***** and dead stuffed in a travel bag and come to the conclusion it might have been murder.....

I did a bit more research and found out, that she didn't naturalize this year. She automaticly was Swiss, when she married her Swiss husband anno 1978. The only thing new, is that now she (and her children) had this registred in Switzerland.

Actually I believe it was announced that he was "probably unlawfully killed". Get it right.

It's a good thing they weren't in North Carolina, it's illegal to marry gays now.

Didn't you just say you're a Swiss citizen?

You weren't paying attention.

Healthcare. Sure. But when it's about political culture, she is the socialist.

Hard to focus while strung out on industrial glue and cheapo beers.

It's always been illegal for gays to marry each other here. Nothing changed yesterday.

Obama is a genius...everyone's playing his game. He gambles on Americans being fools and he's right. This thread was about Michelle who?
