If you are a USian overseas, don’t they still demand taxes from you?
America “Yes taxation without representation”
You have to file federal taxes. Maybe state taxes. You don’t necessarily have to pay depending upon how much (in USD) you make. Things also depend upon per-country tax treaties. The shitty part, at least for me, is that I can’t use the ISA and similar programs here in Japan for retirement because the US considers them all passive foreign investments (PFICs) which require copious paperwork and punitive taxes wiping out any tax-advantaged retirement savings. Also can’t just invest non-taxed income in many things in the US either.
Voting being at the state level also just fucks all kinds of other things up with taxes and the like.
Yes
So it sounds like taxation without representation. I’m sure someone wants to dump diet coke syrup near any/all the golf courses.
The american territories are taxed without representation, why not also people out of country? - republicans probably
What does that do? Ants?
I dunno, but I don’t think this administration would understand dumping tea.
Of course. Why would you want someone to vote if you can’t physically retaliate against them when they don’t vote for you?
Sadly, folks abroad are somehow safer outside the US than they would be from the inside because at least in a foreign country they have certain rules of engagement to uphold.
