Then don't?

  How do you suggest that I convince the US government not to tax me, or not to spend that money on the f-35 program?

    You give up citizenship. You're acting like it's some impossible thing. Close to 10,000 people do so a year. My money is on you actually enjoying the rest of the benefits America provides so you won't do it. But if you cared enough, you would.

      Sadly, my backup citizenship is Canadian, so I get to pay for F-35s no matter what I do. On that note, giving up your US citizenship does not in any way prevent you from being taxed by the American government. There is a hefty fee to apply for expatriation, and then there are exit taxes that may have to be paid.

        The hefty fee is only $2350, about two years of your F-35 payments. The exit tax is just your unpaid taxes and only applies to high net worth individuals (over $2 million) or other special circumstances. If you already paid taxes on income, you won't be double taxed. It's basically the pro-rated "final tax bill" because you are leaving in the middle of the tax year.
