If America is serious about taxing the rich, Congress needs to focus on policies that canโt be undermined.
Hereโs how lawmakers can create a more progressive tax system resilient to legal challenges and executive branch interference.

The next time Congress is serious about making the wealthiest pay their fair share in federal taxes, they will need to make three key changes to the federal corporate income tax so that it applies eff...
Great deep dive by @tombergin.bsky.social on Tesla's questionable international tax practices.
I'll add: while Tesla has found a way to shortchange the US, they are paying 27 times more tax to China than to the US government! America-first, or China-first?

"There could be no greater gift to the fentanyl traffickers, fraudsters, and U.S. adversaries that rely on the anonymity that shell companies provide than gutting the Corporate Transparency Act."

"Exxon and Chevron pay more in taxes abroad than they pay in the US, as detailed in a report by @factcoalition.bsky.social ....The new reporting requirements are particularly relevant now, as the gas and oil industryโs tax avoidance continues while Americans face rising costs at the pump."
Instead of these divisive tax cut proposals, let's all agree to tax the big corporations that profit at everyone's expense.
Right now, Americans are paying too much for gas & medicine, while oil & pharma profits are barely taxed, as I explained in Congress last week: bsky.app/profile/fact...

"We must sync our tax code with our trade policy, putting an end to provisions that not only fail to deter offshoring, but actively incentivize it." โ @aflcio.org aflcio.org/resolutions/...

Oil and gas companies pay more in taxes abroad than they pay in the U.S. thanks to excessive tax breaks and subsidies.
But as Americans face higher fuel prices, even more handouts to this industry will not lower prices.

Looking forward to speaking at this upcoming @fairtaxfoundation.bsky.social webinar on June 22 and sharing our @factcoalition.bsky.social perspective on corporate tax transparency in the US.
Our @factcoalition.bsky.social letter in @taxnotes.com clears the air on our recent analysis and its unmistakable conclusion that many big US companies are slashing their taxes through offshore tax structures, and current US rules arenโt doing much to stop them.

The economy should work for people, not the other way around. An economy that works for people is one that, at a minimum, produces good jobs, not precarious work. A good job is one in which you can no...
The oil and gas industry has long been known for widespread tax avoidance. Now, thanks to new disclosure rules, we have a better picture of how this occurs.
Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.
Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible โ and itโs all perfectly legal for them.
The system is rigged.
The current corporate tax code that encourages offshore tax avoidance isn't "America-first," it's "Corporations-first, Americans-last"

US Congressional Committee Chips Away at Corporate Transparency Act
