> If what was previously funded through coercion -- tax dollars

Guess it's a good thing we are in the US and there is no tax dollar coercion considering you are free to renounce citizenship and leave the country.

Thus never having to pay the fees required to participate/live in US society. Kinda like if you don't want to pay monthly gym fees, don't--but don't expect to use their gym equipment whenever suits you.

Uh, Washington thinks you still have to pay income tax after renouncing your citizenship and bullies governments into collecting it or even extradicting you if you do not pay.

[1659447091]

No you only have to pay if you keep your citizenship and leave the country. If you are no longer a citizen you no longer pay.

[hollerith]

We disagree.

[1659447091]

I am stating a fact. There is no opinion.

If you have no ties (current citizenship, located within US territory or work) to the US, you do not pay US taxes.

What percentage of the world's countries will still respect the US's extradition treaties in 4 years?

[hollerith]

Approximately the same percentage that respect them now IMHO.
