But you did decide that you didn't like how your original government runs things, and you switched to a different government. That's very much in line with the European understanding of government. Your only problem is that the US is extremely picky with accepting new customers.

Also note how many of your problems are exceptional. Few countries raise taxes from money that never enters or leaves their country, and military service requirements are often paused while you are abroad. You have it harder than most.

USA is an example of raising taxes from money that never enters or leaves the country, I think. US citizens pay taxes from income abroad when they live abroad and non-residents pay taxes for money earned from US companies (like I do).
