In my circle of friends none of the US Americans living abroad file their tax returns and haven't done so for many years.. especially if you're not planing to move back to the US, I really don't see the need to continue compliance with the IRS or renounce a citizenship. Keep that passport and keep voting. Throw dog shit over the embassy fence.

Interesting, luckily my home server view won't give Murdoch any ad revenue. The episode felt as political as any SNL episode from the US.
Great episode, I'm not the biggest SNL fan but enjoyed this episode a lot.
Smart to post this while Italy is asleep.
Voting is a good reason to keep the citizenship.
In regards of taxes, if your place of residence collects more than the US would, nothing is actually owed. In the EU most (if not all) countries have much higher tax rates than the US, so the only "crime" would be the failure to file. Not sure if this is why the folks I know are getting away with this.
But generally yes, my friends are not planing to go back and much prefer paying higher taxes in return for accessible healthcare and public transport.
