I just read an article on CNBC that a record number of Americans are giving up citizenship to avoid taxes. But what they don't realize is that the US taxes everything you own as you leave. Sending you a HUGE tax bill on all your stuff. Also any pensions, 401ks etc will continue to be taxes in the US, even if you don't live here.
Of course you could ignore the bill and not pay it, but I wouldn't put your feet on any US soil the rest of your life.
