So has anyone ever explained to you the way a very bright background results in you looking like you're in a very dark shadow? Your viewers are just as interested in seeing you as they are the lovely background behind you. Take the time to find out how to adjust your camera to correct this shortcoming - because it IS correctable. Good luck.

@@dialecticalmonist3405 Not in Canada, but at the same time, we fund other countries and we have an infrastructure to support nine cold months. We are heavily taxed here. From her video: No good roads, water problems, lack of employment, and you have to leave the country for major health care issues. So you are in trouble if you don't earn much. I would have to listen to the locals to hear their side of the story. Taxes are necessary to support the infrastructure and certain things in a country. Wealthy people are happy anywhere. It seems like this island has become a rich man's haven. For jobs to be limited to the tourist industry, you have to leave your beautiful island to get ahead in life and make something of yourself .

Do you need to be a citizen or a permanent resident to benefit from birthright citizenship? Also, if you are not a tax resident there are there any taxes for non resident citizens that we should be aware of?
@JenniferHardingMarlincitizen
@JenniferHardingMarlincitizen 7 месяцев назад
It is always safe to verify birthright citizenship for whatever country you intend to give birth in just before. For Antigua, there is no personal income tax on resident citizens or citizens who are non resident (there is no personal income tax but there may be tax where the person resides).
