You are absolutely right! If you happen to be lucky enough to live in a country that the US has a tax treaty with (which Canada does). But that exemption only applies to money one makes outside the US, and not investments, one might have in the US.
But you are right, there is some help. Alas with the weakening US Dollar (or strengthening Canadian Dollar, depending on how you look at it) that 86k is getting less and less.
As an American living in Canada, this listing of tax rates is still not an apples to apples comparison. For example the US and Canada top rates: Canada 46.4% United States 42.7%
for less that 4%, I get free healthcare in Canada.
And don't forget, for all the American's who do want to leave the US, there are still US taxes to pay (unless you renounce one's US citizenship) as the US taxes its citizens regardless of where they live (which in the end just increases one's tax burden).
It clearly shows that with HD Radio, AM transmission consumes 30 Khz of bandwidth, which is (as I count it) 3 AM channels (since each AM channel is 10Khz in the US).
BTW, as you can see in the ibm article, FM IBOC also eats into adjacent channels.

Well, IBOC sounds good until you look at the spectrum data (from Ibiquity) http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/wireless/lib rary/wi-roam46/?ca=dgr-lnxw01HD-Radio#figure2
