The US can only tax people who have assets or their person in the country. Everyone else is on a pure voluntary basis.

Citation needed.

I would imagine it's a lot less voluntary if you ever plan on returning to the US.

Foreign banks are unlikely to honor a US tax lien on somebody who is not a US national.

I doubt that I would become an expatriate for tax reasons, but if I did I would certainly refuse to pay taxes.
