Retired people often move out for the winter to the southern countries of Europe because it's cheaper to live there then stay back home in Germany and pay for the heating. Same thing with Panama, lower taxes, decent health care, why not move there to retire? Plus nice weather all year long :) Take care, Lorne You can see a similar situation in Germany.

They can make their dollars stretch a lot more. (their daughter is all, no, no, no, you are staying with ME!!!!) *I am very close to the family.....

The most productive people can usually choose how and when to realize taxable income. On the margin, as tax rates are increased, high earners will increasingly relocate to places where they aren't taxed as much. This is likely to remain true even though the USA attempts to tax its citizens abroad and is attempting to get other countries to cooperate in its tax-collection efforts. People will generally find ways to avoid paying taxes at high rates. Yes, this is one reason why raising tax rates never raises as much revenue as predicted.
