The U.S. is one such example.

If I live part-time in Country X and earn a living there by working for a company in Country X, why the hell should I have to pay U.S. income taxes on said income when it is not used in the U.S.?
Yet another way for the IRS to steal more money from people; they can't even manage the money they collect from people living in the U.S.
