ONLY US CITIZENS SHOULD PAY US TAXES
Yeah, you don't get to cherry pick whichever "perks" you want from people while denying them the chance to benefit from the same system their taxes go into.
And, before you start with "Blah, blah, blah, illegal aliens" waffle, If US citizens want to leave the US and become citizens of another country - why should they continue to pay US taxes??? They clearly don't want to vote in US elections, receive "benefits" or be counted in your census or they wouldn't have obtained citizenship of another country.

Sure the government does. If it chooses to tax those here illegally it had every right to do so. That entitles illegal aliens to zero. @HootyTheNightOwl

@HootyTheNightOwl if they take a job they should be paying taxes like everyone else. Instead they are working cash jobs and sending money out of the country where it will now be taken out of circulation. This hurts our economy greatly. They want the benefits without paying taxes. It’s going to end.
@cherokeepatti I'm disappointed that you didn't understand what I am getting at here. My post was more about US citizens who choose to emigrate and get citizenship in another country.
Should they have to pay huge fees to renounce their US citizenship??? Is it reasonable to expect them to pay into a tax system that they aren't using??? Why would they want to benefit from a right to vote in a country they don't live in, a welfare system that they won't be using or to be included in a census for a country that they left - to the point that they are now citizens of a country in Europe.
The only snag is that they're not Meghan Markle and officially renouncing their citizenship will place them into destitution.

@HootyTheNightOwl A lot of them return back to the USA. Anyway our federal tax’s have paid for the interest on war debts. Hopefully very soon the Federal Reserve System will be completely abolished and the wars that the USA has funded will stop for good.

Good try at changing your tune Hoot after your original nonsense was blown out of the water. Read up on why there is an exit tax and report back to us please. @HootyTheNightOwl @cherokeepatti @Shaveit
@jackjjackson My question remains the same as in my opening post
So, I fail to see how you're accusing me of "changing my tune" - when you clearly didn't read...

@cherokeepatti If the country really wanted to fix the problem of people working without paying taxes then it would go after the employers. Make them pay payroll taxes (and fines for failing to do so in the past) and they would soon start registering their workers correctly and withholding taxes to be remitted to the tax authorities.
