The US is one of the only countries that still requires citizens living overseas to file and pay taxes. It’d be great if he further crippled the US war machine this way.
But the exception to it is pretty rational and covers most people.
It’s like how billionaires convince poor people that can’t afford to retire that a tax only 2% of people will ever pay on inheritance is a pressing issue and society doesn’t deserve their cut.of problematic levels of generational wealth.
Like, do you understand how ripe this is for manipulation by the wealthy to turn public opinion against the wealthiest few who pay these taxes?
C’mon man…
It’s 2025, we need to learn to recognize this shit on our own, misinformation is going to keep getting worse.
Quick edit:
For clarity, you do still need to file federal taxes every year, even though you have zero withholdings and still owe $0.
But people get in trouble for not filing, same as people who live in Alaska. There’s no debt for missed payments, but there may be fines/consequences anyways
Do you know how much expats have to pay just to align their taxes and file? Only country to tax on citizenship. It’s ridiculous that it’s even allowed internationally.
What’s weird is you didn’t even click the link or even seem to read my comment:
If you are a U.S. citizen or a resident alien of the United States and you live abroad, you are taxed on your worldwide income. However, you may qualify to exclude your foreign earnings from income up to an amount that is adjusted annually for inflation ($107,600 for 2020, $108,700 for 2021, $112,000 for 2022, and $120,000 for 2023). In addition, you can exclude or deduct certain foreign housing amounts.
America has bigger problems than migrant workers in other countries who make well North of six figures.
You’re not getting any pity from the average American over “filing fees” when you can do that shit on TurboTax.
Honestly?
I hope he tries
She wealthy and still a household name. She can pay to fight, it would make it undeniable he’s abusing power.
And she literally doesn’t even live in this country. Absolutely zero danger at all, and she was already saying she might not come back.
What we need to do is start a campaign talking about how he’s not smart enough or brave enough to try and revoke her citizenship.
Dude is easily manipulated.
I keep wondering if you could get him to do something truly stupid to himself this way.

That gets thrown around all the time…
