This is ridiculous. Why? If you don't want the protections that come with being represented by the US state department why should you pay anything? A tax loophole? It's beyond a tax loophole, you're losing representation and access to the services you no longer pay for, sounds like a fair deal to me. Permanently barred from entry? Why should these people be treated any differently from any other foreigner?
