Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You have to file federal taxes. Maybe state taxes. You don't necessarily have to pay depending upon how much (in USD) you make. Things also depend upon per-country tax treaties. The shitty part, at least for me, is that I can't use the ISA and similar programs here in Japan for retirement because the US considers them all passive foreign investments (PFICs) which require copious paperwork and punitive taxes wiping out any tax-advantaged retirement savings. Also can't just invest non-taxed income in many things in the US either.
Voting being at the state level also just fucks all kinds of other things up with taxes and the like.
Yes
So it sounds like taxation without representation. I'm sure someone wants to dump diet coke syrup near any/all the golf courses.
What does that do? Ants?
I dunno, but I don't think this administration would understand dumping tea.
The american territories are taxed without representation, why not also people out of country? - republicans probably
Of course. Why would you want someone to vote if you can't physically retaliate against them when they don't vote for you?
Sadly, folks abroad are somehow safer outside the US than they would be from the inside because at least in a foreign country they have certain rules of engagement to uphold.
