Federal tax. US citizens living abroad can still vote in federal elections. People who haven't lived in California for ten years can not vote in California elections.
This would be taxation without representation. If you're an American, you probably were educated on the proper procedure for dealing with that.

People who haven't lived in California for one year can't vote in elections. So why the additional taxes for the next 9 years??

There was another country that has the same dumb policy of taxing their citizen's passport.
Libya I think. Nope, sorry, even worse: Eritrea [1]

You do know that the US taxes its citizens living abroad, right? I know someone who was born in the US, moved back to their home country at the ripe old age of 1, and chose to keep his citizenship when he turned 18, thinking that an additional passport won't hurt. Whoops! When he started making money, suddenly the taxman came calling! Even though he had not set foot in the US for 20 years!
