Don’t disagree, ironic the US started largely as a protest about taxation without representation and now the US has become one of only two countries to tax their overseas citizens.

Not to mention the situations with Puerto Rico, Washington D.C and other territories (like Guam and the US Virgin Islands) who are also taxed but do not have representation.

And your name is published on a public list of people that have given up their citizenship.

It’s what plants crave

As much as that would be hilarious… no when water is set out ahead of time they’ll put a little paper cover on the tops of the glasses to get dust or whatever from getting in there. Now as to why he clearly hadn’t drunk from that glass… 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Don’t they have like postal police or something? I feel like that is a thing and they are pretty serious.

Don’t forget that if you renounce they publish your name on a list of people who have renounced citizenship.

Absolutely ridiculous that we are even required to file, only the US and Eritrea run a system like this.

Add onto that the US requires forms even for people resident and working in the US (rather than the tax system of most developed nations where a majority of taxpayers have their taxes deducted from their wages and everything is calculated by that country’s tax authority), and you’ve got yourself a double shitshow.

Sure it might not be the most difficult thing to do but damn it is stupid.
