Good point. I was just using some hyperbole and picked any despotic time and place in history, though Nazi Germany does have some relevance.
Basically they've thrown propaganda at Americans abroad by calling us "tax cheats", "money launderers", etc. when all we're doing is... living our lives.
You have all this commotion going on about tax havens, foreign bank accounts and even corporations that end up shuffling money abroad and end up paying zero taxes in the United States. Just look at the banking requirements US citizens abroad face: specifically, FATCA. They even subtley imply that they're all "FATCATS".
