Actually, moving to another country will generally cost you more than
the taxes we were discussing in the first place.  This is like
saying you can easily prevent the government's cutting off your
fingers by cutting off your arm ahead of time.

It's nothing like membership in a groub that you can cancel by
saying "Count me out."

Another point to note is that foreign nationals working in the US
are required to pay taxes here, and that American citizens abroad
are still required to pay taxes here.
