Who cares? The money was made in another country, it shouldn't be taxed in the US anyways.

do you understand how the us tax system works?

I do, and it is a load of crap. If a sale is made in another country, it shouldn't be the United States' damn business, and certainly shouldn't be taxed in the United States.

Same reason why if you win a lottery draft in another state you have to pay the taxes not in that state but your home state of residence...even though the money is coming to you from another state.
