I disagree with having to effectively pay twice. I've lived overseas for a total of 8 years and the tax rules suck. I'm back in the US now, but when I did work overseas, taxes were fairly complex. My UK family and friends didn't pay taxes to the crown when they worked here. My South African friends don't pay to SA and they work here. It's really not fair if you think about it. People from other countries still enjoy the benefits of their respective citizenships while in other places, yet don't suffer the indignity of the double dip.
