If you asked &quot;Average Joe who is overworked, has two jobs and CC debt&quot; how much he was concerned about the great injustice of requiring expats earning &gt;$100k&#x2F;yr in low-tax nations to make up the tax difference, you wouldn&#x27;t get much sympathy. However, it wouldn&#x27;t be very honest to attribute his lack of sympathy to apathy. I imagine he&#x27;d care, and that he&#x27;d find the present arrangement agreeable.
