The US should not tax expatriate citizens on their non-US income or capital gains.<p>The US should make expatriation simple and cheap.<p>The US would then be similar to all other countries in the world (not just <i>western</i> countries but <i>all</i> countries, except Eritrea).<p>Another significant right is dual-citizenship, which the US accepts (good), but some other countries do not. I think the US used to ban it, but now grudging allows it (I think in response to various acts of terrorism against Americans in the 70s, but could be wrong).

I feel a strong sense of respect and approval for people who would like to expatriate from the United States for anti-imperialist reasons, but do not do so, and instead use their citizenship in order to do work against the continued existence of the United States.<p>The risks such people take is great! The importance of such work is even greater. Please continue working to end the empire. Please continue working to end America!
