> One of the basic benefits is always being able to return to the US. Being inside American borders is very much safer than being anywhere else if/when the next major global military issue arises.
Well to be fair, once you move back in you will already start paying taxes again. This "benefit" is already paid for by you paing taxes when you effectively become resident again after moving inside the country again. Exactly like it works for any other country right now. This is questionable as a benefit while you're not living there.
> You also get the benefits of the US legal system if you maintain ties, investments, etc.
You get those benefits even if you just do some business in US as a foreigner. By this logic, should US also tax worldwide income of anyone who does any business in it and relies somehow on its legal system? Cmon this is a huge stretch. Also if you maintain ties, investments, this means that you are already helping the country by either supporting business or outright keeping your capital in the country and helping it by investing in it. You are ALREADY helping the country. And by this logic the country is supposed to tax you further to what puniush you for helping it?
