The -Times of Israel- article Regarding Taxation and U.S. Citizenship Overseas is Worth a Read

Taxed into renouncing their US citizenship?

Drowning in a sea of new financial regulations, and with IRS audits on the Israel Newspaper Expatriationrise, some American citizens in Israel say they are weighing expatriation.

There are a number of personal perspectives of individuals who live outside the U.S. that are worth reading.  This article, from the Israeli Times, although highly critical of U.S. tax policy (probably unfairly critical against the IRS) is worth reading for a more global perspective.
