yeah like anyone pays taxes once they gone. Haha like they could track it.

Mmm.. the IRS sent out some questionaire to US folks living abroad - about half never replied - about 10% answered and had been paying taxes back to the US. The remainder .. for some strange reason replied and put themselves in line for "problems" since they had not made tax returns :-)
Now they have changed the system for US people living abroad - when their passports come up for renewal - there is a cross-check with the IRS and if they owe - no passport!
They only real way to "escape" is dump citizenship and become a citizen of some less-demanding country. Apart from places like Lybia and Saudi, the US is an exception on this in tracking their citizens the world over for taxes.. The golden rule is "obey the laws of the country in which you reside" or else move...
