Carl Fridh Kleberg (@CFKlebergTT) January 06, 2013French actor Gerard Depardieu recently decided he did not want to conform to France’s new 75 percent tax rate. As an alternative, he has become a Russian citizen.
Don't know why French govt is surprised at Depardieu leaving 75% tax. He won't be alone. #consequences Doubt I'd pick Russia even @ 13% rate—

If anyone tries to get rid of 22nd amendment to give us a third Obama term I may have to "pull a Depardieu" & ask Putin for a new passport!—

Some call Depardieu a traitor because of his actions.
@AP Depardieu loves his money more than his country. He's a traitor to France.—

Gerard Depardieu is nothing more than a traitor and a tax fraud. Greedy man!—

Gerard Depardieu as a political pawn, poster walrus of negative freedom, traitor to a nation is, altogether, very bizarre.—
