The famous photo of the 12 year old girl was taken by Steve McCurry of National Geographic. It was taken in 1983 in a temporary camp where Afghans were to flee to Pakistan.
It used to be free to renounce your US Citizenship. Why should it now cost $450? If Americans get so fed up and financially screwed over by the US Government, they would probably not have the money for the documents to renounce their citizenship and leave. Most passport fees have gone up $35. It will cost you $82 if you want extra pages for you passport, for "labor". Just isolating on these fees, we can see what a rip the US is really becoming.
A woman I know from the scientific community wants to get a basic boat and sail to Cuba to seek refuge. Will the US charge her before she goes, or want the money if she gets to Cuba?
What is the real purpose of the $450 fee?
