RE: Perception changes Everything - Is Taxation really theft?
You have to buy your freedom from the U.S.A. You can't just leave and be free of them. They still claim ownership of you.

@kyriacos - Regarding your idea that it is easy to leave the country and rid oneself of the leech that is the US government:
According to the IRS: "Your worldwide income is subject to U.S. income tax, regardless of where you reside."

According to the US government, you must request permission to renounce citizenship and it can be denied:
"A person wishing to renounce his or her U.S. citizenship must voluntarily and with intent to relinquish U.S. citizenship:

You also have to pay extortion money in order to "legally" separate yourself. This article explains quite a bit: http://www.mondaq.com/canada/x/227982/Income+Tax/Renouncing+Your+US+Citizenship+Is+Divorcing+Uncle+Sam+Right+For+You
Lastly, without paying for a passport (paying for the right to move my physical body to another physical location), it is not easy to leave or enter another country. In fact, I know people who were recently denied entry into Canada for a visit due to petty, old "criminal" charges for which fines and probation were paid and served years prior to attempting to cross the imaginary line between the US and Canada. Again, this was just for a visit, not even a request for citizenship, which is a whole other process.
Bullshit. one good friend of mine just moved to Kuwait and dropped his green card.
Where do you people hear these things? Research the laws of your own country guys. stop listening to bullshiters.
