¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Fundamentally, I don't think it's bad to require that wealthy citizens pay taxes. I don't think I'm being "robbed" - I pay higher taxes where I'm resident, so I just fill out some forms to tell Uncle Sam what I've already paid and it zeroes out my US tax liability.

Far from being unjust, I think it's good and proper that you can't run away to Dubai to skip out on your obligations.

The US government does plenty of things I consider unjust. To take one obvious example, it has, without due process, killed its own citizens in drone strikes. I just don't consider making wealthy business owners do paperwork among its crimes.
