    US taxes are insane in that regard.

    I actually think that’s one good decision they made to prevent tax evasion.

    I’m sure Trump will eventually get rid of that though.

      But they also tax poor people after they leave, as far as I know, which sucks.

        Not according to this.

          I believe they have to pay other taxes.

          “If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien, the rules for filing income, estate, and gift tax returns and paying estimated tax are generally the same whether you are in the United States or abroad. You are subject to tax on worldwide income from all sources and must report all taxable income and pay taxes according to the Internal Revenue Code.”

          From the IRS: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/us-citizens-and-resident-aliens-abroad

          Maybe my reading comprehension skills are lacking, but it seems to me I am not wrong.

            But that’s the same tax they’d pay at home. There apparently are various tax credits for expats to avoid double taxation too.

              Well you should have to pay taxes to the country you do not live in in addition to the one you do. In principle.

      I wouldn’t be so sure. He seems to have(always had, actually) a lot of protectionist sentiments. I think he might feel quite strongly about preventing capital flight.
