&quot;Unfortunately, no single member of Congress represents these American constituents who together would rank, if a state, 12th in population size after New Jersey and before Virginia. By virtue of living abroad, they are second-class citizens, paying onerous tax burdens without representation.&quot;<p>Compare this to Switzerland that considers its citizens living abroad part of the &quot;fifth Switzerland&quot; (there are 4 official language regions in Switzerland). They can vote online (in some Kantons&#x2F;States) and participate in government programs to keep in touch with or learn about their roots. All without taxation.<p>Of course, people here complain about citizens living abroad voting in local elections... Representation without taxation!
