As “US persons” abroad there is one thing that we all have in common: we are all vulnerable to the US government and subject to the whims of politicians and a tax code from a distant foreign country, who do not represent us as overseas citizens yet still subject us to their laws as if we lived there. Many of our own countries are busy lining up to sell us out (“us” being dual citizens and “US person” permanent residents) as quickly as they can to the US government.
