I totally agree it's a ridiculous burden.
Americans have a big burden of FATCA, specialist accountants and just a lot of stress in general.
And to what end, when most of them end up paying no taxes to the US whatsoever? (this was the point I was trying to make - that after all this BS they are put through, the US is still not getting any extra tax revenue from these people)
It seems like it's mostly so that US politicians can say they've done something about high-profile rich people who have moved to tax havens, rather than actually increase tax income measurably.
