It's absurd because no other country does it that way - the United States, despite the rhetoric, treats its own citizens worse in this aspect than any other country the rest of the civilized world.

If other countries behaved the same way, it wouldn't be so ridiculous- but they don't, so it is.

I agree with you, but there is actually another country that is taxing foreign income of nonresident citizens: Eritrea
