I think you conspiracy theorists need to wait until the LOA actually comes out before you completely bash the union.
WRONG! As a U.S. Citizen, or legal resident ALL worldwide income is subject to US income tax with the exception of the small 80-85,000 dollar exemption for living overseas. In most cases citizens of other countries pay no tax to the countries they are citizens.
