Yes, the USA villifies, marginalizes and abandons #Americansabroad with a special hatred for those with @dualcitizenship. But the greatest expression of contempt is when @Demsabroad then asks them to #VoteFromAbroad. seatnow.org/2023/04/30/how… via SEATNow.org - Stop Extraterritorial American Tax

Need some kind of potential twist or villian to make #Coronation exciting. Megan should show up at the last minute and join the protestors from indigenous communities.

Ed Krassenstein Tina Turner, like so many others Americans living abroad, renounced her US citizenship because it is financially crippling to be an American overseas.

Somebody, somewhere should declare America's "Eritrea-plus" approach to taxing US expats illegal, says Andreas Kluth #FATCA #IRS #CBT trib.al/ZM7gP7L

The US "torments" emigrants with "tax and compliance hell" and "draconian penalties for innocent mistakes". The only country with anything remotely similar (but much less draconian) is the repressive dictatorship of Eritrea. Any comment U.S. Embassy Australia? washingtonpost.com/business/2023/…

There's nothing more emblematically Obama than a Netflix show that waxes mournfully about the gig economy not paying living wages without mentioning how many people from the upper ranks of his own administration literally helped create it.

It's often suggested we should tax UK citizens wherever in the world they live, to make the concept of a "tax exile" impossible. The US does it - why don't we? Because it's a terrible idea. Here's why: taxpolicy.org.uk/2023/06/27/cit…

What say you Caroline Kennedy & U.S. Embassy Australia about the former Canadian Ambassador's comments on America's punitive tax treatment of Americans abroad? He's right, of course. Perhaps you can go one up one Bruce and let us know what you think before you retire.

Thanking "Badger" of Isaac Brock Society fame for his/her thoughtful summary of the ADCSovereignty #FATCA lawsuit, @citizenshiptax and why US citizenship is a disability in the 21st Century. #Americansabroad know this. Resident Americans need to understand it! isaacbrocksociety.ca/2023/07/13/jul…

Does the U.S. Embassy Australia care about the favourability rating of the US in Australia? 47% of Aussies have an unfavourable view! Maybe it would help if you stopped completely ignoring the concerns of thousands of dual Aus-US citizens re: FATCA/FBAR etc? pewresearch.org/global/wp-cont…

"Second, the tax policy of the United States should be set by the United States, not by other countries." Meanwhile, the USA sets tax policy for millions of other nations residents and citizens and forces other nations to agree to it. The hypocrisy makes me genuinely nauseous.

James Medlock Welp, it's been a revelation as to how many US "progressives who totally support international norms" devolve to "rah, rah, USA First" exceptionalism when it comes to pushing the US's bizarre citizenship-based taxation. It's been quite the parade of confident ignorance. ...

Journo Bill Wyman Bill Wyman on ABC The Drum making the point that Democrats bear much responsibility for the rise of Trump. ie Dems are careerists who 'build coalitions' but don't build connections to working people. They sure don't care about working Americans abroad #FATCA

The Hamilton song "You'll be back" by King George has an uncanny application to the relationship between the US empire and its foreign subjects 250 years later. Instead of sending a battalion and killing to remind us of its love, the US financially sanctions and double taxes us.

But to all the Americans who did hide their money in Swiss banks, and the Swiss banks that facilitated it, thanks for nothing. I’m not looking for a tax haven, just a safe place where my paychecks can go!

You must pay US taxes when you don't even live there, it's price you pay for the benefits of enjoying US citizenship. Here's a lady discovering how a US passport opens doors and brings opportunity - not. #FATCA #GILTI #FBAR #PFIC tiktok.com/@americanfille…

The US imposes tyrannical double taxation on the worldwide income of its citizens. When people complain, it justifies it by claiming a US passport means rescue anywhere anytime: politico.com/news/2023/10/1… Australia doesn't double tax outside its borders: amp.theguardian.com/australia-news…
