#Taxes r not just about taxes. They r also about #socialjustice. New article published by @DePaulLaw Journal for Social Justice explains how "The #Invisibility of the #AmericanEmigrant" is an obstacle to needed #legalreform. shorturl.at/5ityW #taxtwitter #epistemicinjustice

No governmental unit or anyone else may impose any obligation that shifts, cancels, dilutes, destroys, abridges, or affects citizenship. And yet, it's clear that Americans abroad are second-class citizens. Read Laura's full article here: ssrn.pulse.ly/d0jwl8qbfm.

Laura argues that this occurs in violation of the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to every person born or naturalized in the United States. As the U.S. Supreme Court held in Afroyim v. Rusk, the 14th Amendment completely controls citizenship, placing it beyond the power of any governmental unit or anyone else to destroy.

Laura bases this analysis on recent comments by none other than the IRS’s own National Taxpayer Advocate (NTA). In her recent report to Congress, the NTA, Erin Collins, makes clear that citizenship-based taxation has a profound effect on overseas Americans, including driving many to renounce U.S. citizenship “to escape the complexity.”

In a recent, eloquent article for Tax Notes, Laura Snyder, President of Stop Extraterritorial American Taxation and a TFFAA Board member, argues the IRS’s failure to administer a worldwide tax system raises constitutional issues and has serious repercussions not only for overseas Americans but also for the U.S. tax system as a whole. @WaysMeansCmte @WaysandMeansGOP @SenFinance @SenateFinance @YourVoiceAtIRS @RepLaHood @SenToddYoung taxfairnessabroad.pulse.ly/ku2dkolq1f

Citizenship-based taxation so full of democracy and self-determination that the National Taxpayer Advocate says to US expats to "comply" with a wink. 😉
