    I don’t really understand your point.

    What about the other n million Americans who pay income tax? They might find it appealing too.

    The 10 million living outside the US would pay less american income tax than residents.

      You have a dead heat match. A few votes matter. This is millions of extra votes.

      Many Americans outside the country pay more than Americans inside the country as they tend to be more affluent so higher income tax bracket. Yet not UHNW so it’s all capital gains.
