    Sure, that’s completely true but unrelated to what you said in your original comment. I quote:

    Why would anyone with that much money want to come here permanently

    You were not talking about non-resident citizens, so stop moving the goalposts.

    Plus, the US has one of the lowest tax rates of any of those “large countries” you talked about. So unless a US citizen resided in a country without a tax treaty with the US (there’s not many of them), they’re almost certainly being charged enough tax in their resident country that they pay $0 to the IRS on non-USA income.

      I was talking about non-residents, that’s why I edited the comment. Resident non-citizens presumably have jobs here, and are already paying tax.
