When it comes to @InFBARWeTrust:
The penalty is the purpose and the purpose is the penalty.
It's the unfiled FBAR which is of value to the government.

Laura explains that "For those born or naturalized in the United States, citizenship exists independently of any governmental authority. Fourteenth Amendment citizenship belongs to the individual, and only to the individual. It does not belong to anyone else...

Obviously, the tax code has replaced the constitution. There is no other explanation left.

This article from @TAPInternation of @SEATNow_org contains an important message for #Americansabroad.
Perspective: @TAPInternation examines how citizenship-based taxation violates 14th Amendment citizenship and explains the danger not just for overseas Americans but for all in delegating matters of constitutional rights to the Joint Committee on Taxation. taxnotes.co/3PhDLZ6

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/k…
