Yeah, or I could move to Mars, I know.

I, for one, am happy to not fund the bombing of innocent people through the taxes I pay. I am not sure you could say the same. :)

And for the record:

> Renouncing U.S. citizenship doesn't free you from U.S. tax obligations and means that even after the renunciation, the IRS could still audit and assess taxes and penalties.

Exit tax and anything you owed - yes. But you no longer need to pay tax to US on your worldwide income (assuming you move out and not have US assets) like citizens do.

Even on Mars there would be society that will enforce its rules on you. See a pattern here?

Yes, I do. There is no escape from the arms of the Government, and society != government anyway.
