They demand taxes from all expats even if they’re already paying taxes to their host country. I’m below that income threshold but still have to report my earnings, which is a pain in the ass since all the “free” file options won’t let me file for free. “Please pay with US credit card that has US billing address and US phone number.” I have no US credit card, no US address, and no US phone number so fuck them and fuck the IRS. I pay taxes to my host country that actually puts my tax money back into social services I need.

As far as I know, Uncle Sam is the only country in the world that does that to its citizens living/working in foreign lands.

Is one under a moral obligation to pay taxes to a country to which they don't plan to return?

I would say no.
