>> You do know that the US taxes its citizens living abroad, right?

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??
