The US is one of the only countries in the world where citizens are taxed even when they don't live there (and haven't for many years). If you don't pay taxes on your way out but you have to visit for any reason, cops can arrest you when you re-enter.

They also have extradition treaties in most countries, so you'd have to avoid about half of the world.

You have taken all the whimsy and drama of leaving your country of birth. Fucking paper work and taxes!?!? I'm talking long beach cuts, walking defiantly off and never looking back.

How do you cross borders without your passport?

Just say goodbye and never see your family and friends again? Good luck.
