Re: Why was he in a Spanish prison?

"None of that is of use to you?"

For an American, it's not that simple.

I live in France. I pay tax here. It puts Frenchies through school, fixes up the roads I drive on, and so on.

My mother, an American, had to make expensive declarations (the tax form is not intended to be understood by mere mortals) and payments to educate kids and fix up roads in a country she hadn't lived in since the late 70s (and had no plans to go back to).

I'm all for paying taxes where you reside or do business, but the American system is just weird.
