&gt; I don&#x27;t even have to click to know what this is about. God damn government wants to tax me despite being overseas.<p>So turns out you don&#x27;t know what this is about. It&#x27;s not about the century-old citizenship-based taxation, it&#x27;s about the additional legal and bureaucratic overhead of FATCA on both the citizen and the structures around them e.g. non-US banks refusing to deal with US citizens because they don&#x27;t want to deal with the legal and financial risk of FATCA.
