As you the 1924 U.S. Supreme Course decision in Cook v. Tait is often cited as the basis for U.S. citizenship-based “place of birth” taxation. Todundsteuer made the first comment on Cook v. Tait 1:
See all the comments to that post. The debate has continued since that time. When I wrote “Cook v. Tait 1” I didn’t realize that it would be an ongoing project. I have been writing posts about “Cook v. Tait” since January of 2013. As one commenter said:
You have a treasure trove of good material here although it might be hard for some people to find if they don’t realize that blank scroll bar thing is actually the archive. Thanks for putting Shadow Raider’s and Badger’s excellent posts in one place, along with all those Cook vs. Tait links.
Yes, great idea. The purpose of this page is to put the “Cook v. Tait” series of posts in one place. I expect to continue adding to it. Each post has a theme. A theme that I hope will help with understanding the “Cook v. Tait” rationale (or rather the lack thereof).
In any case, here they are:
