Check it out; Marco Rubio is streamlining the process to renounce your citizenship.

In an effort to squeeze very penny he could out of American expats Barack Obama increased the fee to renounce citizenship from $450 to $2350 in order to force former Americans to pay a ridiculously high Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). Obama raised taxes on expatriated folks to prevent the rich from offshoring their bank accounts and thus deprive him of money he could swindle the productive out of to buy votes.

So Rubio is trying to streamline the renunciation process (it now takes multiple reviews and permission) and wants to lower the cost back to $450.

Renouncing your citizenship should not cost you a penny, frankly. Getting it back should be what is difficult.

At any rate this will make it more attractive to the Hollywood screwballs and others who think America sucks, and hopefully we can waive a fond farewell to the people who hate half of their fellow citizens. If you don't want to be a citizen then get out.
