I am a citizen of a foreign country, I have a job in that country, I store my money in that country, I buy practically all of my products in that country. Why should the fact that when I was a baby, the US government decided to give me citizenship cause me to pay more taxes (or at least pay more to file) than my neighbor who is not a US citizen?

So why dont you renounce your US citizenship?

The US govt knows that most non resident US citizens even if they dont like paying taxes are still going to pay it because those citizens still want to be part of club US.

Renouncing citizenship is expensive and non-trivial. The US global taxation regime is a trap.

Well why doesn't the US government just decide to tax its citizens the same as nearly every other country in the world? You're saying that the solution to a bad system is to move, rather than just making the system less terrible.
