Comment on Expatriate Americans Break Up With Uncle Sam to Escape Tax Rules

Comments

The US needs to adopt a residency based tax system like the rest of the world.

This would solve so many problems.

The main issue why this remains a problem is that Congress doesn't care about American citizens who live abroad. Congress knows they can abuse Americans who will never comprise a large enough portion of any district for their votes to really matter. This is why people are actually renouncing. They have no other practical solution or representation.
