H-1Bs do not have to pay US taxes for life no matter where in the world they go. It's just one more way that foreigners in the USA are privileged again and again over American citizens.

Really? As a current H-1Bs, I believe I paid in both income tax + sales tax + property tax (I owned a property here). And I could be kick out at any rate, which means those taxes meant nothing to me, nor to my future generations. Is it really that privileged?

You get to pay Caesar his due and leave.

If you're a non-resident US citizen in particular, you can really be screwed.
