Republicans Overseas Foundation submits residence-based income tax proposal for the next administration’s tax reform package
Salem, OR: On March 28, 2024, the Republicans Overseas Foundation submitted a residence-based tax proposal to Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 for potential inclusion in the next administration’s tax reform package. The proposal, titled ‘Ending the Unjust Taxation of Overseas Americans,’ provides three actionable recommendations, including the preferred legislative solution of completely severing citizenship from United States income tax policy.
Unique among nations, the United States taxes its non-resident overseas citizens on their non-U.S. source income. This is citizenship-based taxation (‘CBT’). While the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (‘FEIE’) may partially offset the taxation of employment income earned overseas, FEIE does not offset other sources of foreign-earned income, such as pensions. CBT often leads to the double taxation of overseas Americans who are already paying income taxes in their country of residence. CBT combines with regulations such as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act to prevent overseas Americans from fully engaging in the normal financial and retirement planning activities necessary for their families. These unjust income tax policies and regulations are driving the increased rate of American citizenship renunciation.
“Overseas Americans have suffered far too long from United States citizenship-based taxation. We should no longer force law-abiding U.S. citizens to renounce their precious American citizenship because of the difficulty complying with draconian tax policies and onerous regulations. We urge the next administration to renounce citizenship-based taxation and adopt residence-based taxation. Free overseas Americans to have normal financial lives and to live their American dream in every country where they reside.” – Solomon Yue, CEO and Vice-Chairman Republicans Overseas Foundation.
We urge Americans to read the proposal and forward it to your Congressional representatives and candidates. Ask them to support tax fairness for overseas Americans.

Press Release: RO Condemns Antisemitism Directed at Jews In Israel
TEL AVIV – February 22, 2024 – Republicans Overseas commends the board of Democrats Abroad Israel for taking the drastic step of resigning en masse to protest the rising antisemitism in the Democrat party. We also offer our belated condolences for the deaths of their family members at the hands of Hamas terrorists.
The Democrat party must address its antisemitism problem and should expel from Congress their antisemitic House members, including Representatives Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Rashida Tlaib.
Republicans Overseas condemns antisemitism in all its forms and supports the right of Israel to uproot Palestinian, Iranian, and Islamist terror in Gaza and all its borders; to rescue its hostages; and to defend the Jewish People and the Judeo-Christian values that form the cornerstone of Western civilization.
Republicans Overseas urges all American citizens in Israel to register to vote at WWW.FVAP.GOV and to vote Republican in the general election. Contact Marc Zell for further information.

Republicans Overseas Stands With Israel

Republicans Overseas Stands with President Trump Against Democrat Injustice and Tyranny
SALEM, OR – August 25, 2023 – Republicans Overseas condemns the Democrats’ weaponization of the United States judicial system and calls—yet again— on Democrats to cease their political persecution of President Trump and our justice system.
The mug shot of President Trump taken during his arrest in Fulton, Georgia marks an egregious and dangerous turning point in American politics. For the first time in American history, the party in power is seeking to jail its chief opposition and deprive that opposition of legal counsel.
The unjust prosecution of President Trump in Georgia seeks to criminalize concerns about election integrity, deprive Republicans of their First Amendment rights to free speech, and criminalize the practice of law in defense of Republican politicians. The two-tier system of justice is on full display for the American people to see and reject.
Solomon Yue, CEO of Republicans Overseas, states, “The BeijingBiden administration is targeting President Trump to remove its chief political opposition. This kind of political prosecution could only happen in Putin’s Russia. Now these tyrannical political persecutions are happening in Biden’s America time after time. The American people must demand a halt to this police state behavior.”
Republicans Overseas supports Congressman Jim Jordan’s efforts to seek out any collusion between radical Democrat activist District Attorney Fani Willis and the federal government in the Georgia court case. Democrats must cease behaving like communist autocrats who jail their opponents, reject their own radical politicians, call for a restoration of true justice, and end the censorship and legal targeting of their fellow countrymen and women.
