Why is America the only country that taxes people who have citizenship but aren't residents?

The only one, guys.

Also Eritrea… uh but only at 2%.

Because people in the us hate taxes and their purposes and thus don't tax the residents enough?

The average working American only resents high taxes when they can't see the effects of their taxes in their local communities.

If your property tax keeps going up but nothing gets better in town, are you gonna trust the tax man?
