    I do understand how US taxes generally are, you’re also the only country that charges citizens taxes on income earnt when resident overseas, I have a few US friends here. But taxing a government benefit is just ridiculous double-handling and makes it duplicitous to the general public when benefit increases are discussed…

          Kind of, but they’re basically the only two in the world because no one else is insane enough to care, the US does it by bullying other countries but considering the good will of a lot of countries is starting to be impacted, I’m not sure it will last until 2028… I’m pretty sure Erithrea only has leverage by withholding important documents for the taxpayers who don’t comply.
