I would really like clarification of that tax statement. You seemed to have put a lot of work into writing it?
Your bottom line seems to read that Germans pay taxes in the country they live in and Americans don't.
Just empty rhetoric or do you have a point to make?
Please explain your position, should be interesting.

It´s just another proof for different policys - there´re issues where Americans can be considered more free and issues where Europeans are more free. I see no material difference. In the end, we live in free and democratic societies - that you were able to change your citizenship is another point for that.

It is more freedom to pay taxes in the country you live in instead of the country you get a passport from. A US citizen cannot choose - he/she always is subject to US taxation, a German citizen can escape from German taxation by changing his residence.
