I don't mind paying taxes. What I do mind is the overreaching US tax system which puts a huge reporting burden on expats.
If you're young, things are slightly simpler. You don't have a financial history, you (usually) only have one bank account, no savings, no trust funds, no stocks, no shares in companies, and often no mortgage. Believe me, it gets much, much more complicated later on. But I do hope you know what FBAR and FATCA requirements are when you say that you file and request an exemption.
I've seen other tax systems and the US one is the only one with these overblown reporting requirements.
