I'm pretty sure people want you to hassle because a variety of:
1) You got out while they are stuck in their spot
2) You aren't supposed to leave your spot in the bestest country in the world so its fun to punish you
3) They can't make rich people pay their taxes, so it sure is fun as shit to force someone to
4) Its awesome to know they get their loopholes, mortgage write-offs, and that good shit on the backs of people who don't live there. Its fucking hilarious!
5) They just don't give a fuck. Who needs a reason not to care.
6) USA. Fuck yeah. Does the US need to explain itself?
7) Its not them doing the work or paying the money, so again, who cares.
I think there is a real malevolent drive behind people who cannot empathize with expats who live under these ridiculous rules. There is something strange about people being so insensitive and unsympathetic to hard working people caught in a bureaucratic nightmare, while hiding behind a liberal guise.
Until I see them this giddy about fixing the US so that it can fund itself internally, I got to take this shit with a grain of salt. You got 1%ers paying 15% tax and you want to go after people living normal lives somewhere else? Get the fuck out here...
