Not if you give up your citizenship. After all, why would you want to be a part of country if you think it's extorting and stealing from you?

- avs733 5y agoits almost like that is WHY the US taxes overseas citizens...they don't want freeloaders relying on the benefits of their citizenship without understanding how it is paid for.
- anm89 5y agoI'm assuming you have zero complaints or commentary about any piece of us politics or policy right? After all if you did you should move to Guatemala right? Guess we should have just remained a colony of Britain huh? If people didn't like the rules they should have just moved somewhere else. After all, the rules are the rules and if you don't like them the only thing you should do is go somewhere else right? What a hypocritical, disingenuous argument this is.
- bena 5y agoYour argument is disingenuous. You are trying to twist his argument into "if you have any complaint, you should leave". But that's not his argument. His argument is that if you disagree with taxation specifically, you should leave. He's fine with taxation. He probably believes that any other issues he may or may not have with his government can be fixed within that system without compromising the things he likes about it too much. He doesn't believe you can't remove taxes without compromising everything he likes about his country. Argue his point, not some make-believe exaggeration.
