There might be other candidates to take his place if Ray Davies can get a Green card.

But he'll still have to file with the I.R.S. for at least 10 years after...

But not to worry there are more powerful forces than superman in America. So powerful they don't pay taxes - perhaps Ray Davies could get some advice.
"In the first quarter of 2011, Exxon-Mobil, the world’s biggest and most profitable corporation, raked in $10.7 billion. That’s a 69 percent increase over the same quarter last year, and the highest quarterly profit since 2008. This is happening during a time when citizens are searching underneath the couch cushions to scrape together enough change in order to fill their gas tanks so they can go file for unemployment benefits.
Exxon also happens to be one of US Uncut’s top targets. The oil giant uses offshore subsidiaries in the Caribbean to avoid paying taxes in the United States. The company paid zero U.S. income tax in 2009, while enjoying billions in taxpayer-funded subsidies and its CEO’s total compensation reached over $29 million".

Now you sound like this wise guy*.
So what, if 'super-parents' spoke differently and worked at 7 Eleven? ;)
* Vitter too, however is Indian. He proudly invokes God(s) on a need basis, advocates abstinence-only sex education and calls for Tea parties - Indian!
