You have to buy your freedom from the U.S.A. You can't just leave and be free of them. They still claim ownership of you.

    @kyriacos - Regarding your idea that it is easy to leave the country and rid oneself of the leech that is the US government:

    According to the IRS: "Your worldwide income is subject to U.S. income tax, regardless of where you reside."
    https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/u-s-citizens-and-resident-aliens-abroad

    According to the US government, you must request permission to renounce citizenship and it can be denied:

    "A person wishing to renounce his or her U.S. citizenship must voluntarily and with intent to relinquish U.S. citizenship:

    1. appear in person before a U.S. consular or diplomatic officer,
    2. in a foreign country at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate; and
    3. sign an oath of renunciation
      https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal-considerations/us-citizenship-laws-policies/renunciation-of-citizenship.html

    You also have to pay extortion money in order to "legally" separate yourself. This article explains quite a bit: http://www.mondaq.com/canada/x/227982/Income+Tax/Renouncing+Your+US+Citizenship+Is+Divorcing+Uncle+Sam+Right+For+You

    Lastly, without paying for a passport (paying for the right to move my physical body to another physical location), it is not easy to leave or enter another country. In fact, I know people who were recently denied entry into Canada for a visit due to petty, old "criminal" charges for which fines and probation were paid and served years prior to attempting to cross the imaginary line between the US and Canada. Again, this was just for a visit, not even a request for citizenship, which is a whole other process.
