"But repealing the exclusion would also pinch many less-fortunate
Americans in low-tax overseas locations such as Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia
and Singapore. These workers include US taxpayers hired on increasingly
common "local" pay packages - which contain fewer perks and are cheaper
for companies to provide - and people like teachers and not-for-profit
workers, who enjoy no corporate largess. "

And in the USA the average person gets a $24,000 exclusion, and you complain
about a drop from $80k to $70k exclusion? And if you get your housing paid
for here in the states, it counts towards your taxable income. I always
thought it was rip to give the exclusion in the first place. When I had to
go overseas on business, I did not get an exclusion on my pay during the 2-3
weeks I traveled.
