    I think you are also on the hook to pay American taxes, too. So I guess Pedonald would be taking the “unitary executive theory” all the way to King George territory and we have taxation w/o representation for the expats, too…

      Expats have to file their taxes but foreign income tax paid is generally deducted from US taxes owed. I think that depends on what agreement is made with the country they reside in though.

      Yep, US citizenship is one of the most expensive in the world, due to their uniquely harsh taxation of expats.

      You already have taxation without representation. Felons pay taxes but don’t get to vote. The citizens of American territories also pay taxes but do not get representatives.
