"That is the way it should be. For many nationalities, that is the way it is. For USA nationals, wherever you earn your money, the IRS wants a cut. The only way out is the give up your USA citizenship. They get taxes then and continue to for ten years. (Or something like that.)" Actually, being a Citizen of the Union is not the same thing as being a "US citizen." The IRS and others have deliberately blurred the distinction, but since about the time of the Civil War there have been two classes of citizenship. A US citizen is a Federal subject - a category that you don't automatically fall into by being born within the borders of a US state. In the Constitution, you notice, the term "United States" refers to the Federal government and the facilities and territory that it directly controls, as opposed to the "several States" of which freeborn Americans are citizens. Most of us have been suckered into the System by declaring on various forms, in good faith and total ignorance, that we are "US citizens." Gotcha! So getting out from under the IRS does not require giving up your birthright, but reclaiming it instead. There is a lot of conflicting opinion regarding how to go about that, however.
