“As any student of American history can tell you, one of the reasons behind the American Revolution was ‘no taxation without representation.’ Since then, America has striven to ensure that the government is responsive and fair. Until now. Sadly, the United States seems to be straying from her heritage, as millions of unrepresented American expats are being subjected to extra reporting requirements simply because they live overseas. To add insult to injury, the American government isn’t the only body discriminating against Americans living overseas. Banks (both foreign and American), insurance companies, and credit/debit card companies are joining in.”
