It's not like federal income is an admission fee. Or a direct tax on something the citizen uses (like a toll road). You benefit just as much from the government building a VA hospital, AIDS research, or a US carrier stationed near Syria.
You don't suddenly stop being an American when you go live somewhere else.
- gambiting 11y agoI don't think we will ever agree on this. I think income tax should only be paid in the country where you made the money, because the money comes from a business in that country. You think you should also pay it in the country where you are from, because you should support it(even if that country hasn't done anything to help you earn that money). To me, that sounds insane. To you, it doesn't. I'm not sure we can reach an understanding.
