"Also the US does not allow you to revoke your citizenship so you can't legally evade paying taxes." Since when?

the US does not allow you to revoke your citizenship so you can't legally evade paying taxes. ahem... check these out : travel.state.gov travel.state.gov You could make a good case that US workers overseas do require the US military for their protection (especially US workers in the Middle East), so these people should be paying some taxes "requiring US military protection" (especially when its not requested by the citizen) is a feeble excuse to collect taxes. If a US citizen living in Australia paid US taxes, does that give that citizen the "right" to call in the US military for whatever imagined/real reason ?? what about non-ME resident US citizen workers ? eg. in europe, australia, new zealand etc. why should they have to pay US taxes ?
