I feel like I'm in crazytown when I express distress about taxation - literally people forcibly taking away your property - and ppl act like I'm the crazy one. Sure, you could argue that this forcible theft is worth it, and I'll respect that, but it's still not crazy to be upset.
It's only up to a point; you get a relatively small amount that's not subject to double taxation. I looked into this quite a bit a few years ago.

I think you should check again because in my experience it's not the case. Where I live there's tons of US expats. They wouldn't come here if they had to pay local tax AND US tax. Filing the tax return itself is onerous and something other countries don't require.

You should go ask them about it, and ask how much they make.

In 2020 the foreign earned income exclusion is $107,600. That’s more than a relatively small amount.

That's EARNED income, all other income ie disability, retirement, unemployment etc is doubly taxed. (Plus those deemed US citizens abroad can't even think about opening a business nor hold positions with fiduciary responsibility). Land of the Free....what a joke.
