TFA doesn't really explain this, but for the majority of people affected, it's not the amount of taxes but the hassle that matters most. The USA has squandered a lot of goodwill, driving many of those "accidental Americans" to renounce their US citizenship. The people supporting the current policy, like the Notre Dame prof quoted in TFA, are so focused on sticking it to the rich, they ignore the effects on average people.
