Only if you make $100k+ though, from what I've read. You get an exemption if you make less than that, I believe?

Even still. The fact that you have to pay taxes for services you have no means to access is a little unfair.

You still have access to all the services and protection provided by the US embassy and consulates.

I'm not saying that it's appropriate for someone to pay the taxes, but it's not true to say you get no services as a US citizen abroad.
