if you're a dual citizen in one country that requires gambling income to be paid for and the other doesn't, what's the deal?

You can't escape it. "We contend here, however, that the model of government is akin, not to the business firm, but to the criminal organization, and indeed that the State is the organization of robbery systematized and writ large." Murray Rothbard

Why do you have to pay US taxes if you don't live in the US? Are you sure you do?

If you are really paying the IRS 35% of your income, you're doing your taxes wrong. Even if you took NO deductions, you'd still only pay 35% on the PORTION of your income that is in the 35% tax bracket, not the entire income.

Cry me a river and then go read the code.

There's no escape unless you renounce citizenship.
