1. citizens

   Citizenship is an allegiance of person to a state. Each state determines the conditions under which it will recognize persons as its citizens, and the conditions under which that status will be withdrawn. Recognition by a state as a citizen generally carries with it recognition of civil, political, and social rights which are not afforded to non-citizens. In general, the basic rights normally regarded as arising from citizenship are the right to a passport, the right to leave and return to the country/ies of citizenship, the right to live in that country, and to work there. Some countries permit their citizens to have multiple citizenships, while others insist on exclusive allegiance.

   Its not the responsibility of a resort, of my clients, to give out that information, its the responsibility of the U.S. State Department to give out that data.

But all citizens are hurt through lower growth, higher prices, lower wages, taxes should be transparent. It should be clear who is paying them. The corporate income tax is designed to hide the tax burden.
