    When I pursued it there was a provision for the administrative tax burden of the employer. My employer withheld as usual for a US worker, then I would also need to file and post-pay Portugal’s taxes.

    Double taxation; an employer comfortable with it; new culture; national economic issues: I agree it’s a tall order for the vast majority of Americans. And, it also seemed the most viable option. I think we agree that emmigration is quite difficult.

        Many are readily importing my skillset. But, then I’d have to go back to corporate slavery.

        I’m worried about the inaccessibility of the freedom to choose for the vast majority of Americans.
