Make big corporations pay more in taxes
19 members“Raising the Corporate Tax Rate and Cracking Down on Tax Avoidance: We should reverse Donald Trump’s corporate tax cut and make multinational corporations pay their fair share. And we need to close loopholes that let corporations get rich off of Americans and then shift those profits offshore to avoid paying what they owe.”View on their website ↗
“Taxing Digital Advertising: There’s no reason why tech companies should be allowed to avoid paying taxes on the ad services they sell. I support a progressive tax on revenue from digital advertising that would help fund federal priorities and ensure big tech pays their fair share.”View on their website ↗

“Stop incentivizing corporations to offshore. Right now, we let companies calculate tax deductions based on assets held abroad, which lets corporations increase their profits by moving American factories and jobs overseas–to say nothing of the loopholes that make it easy for American-headquartered multinationals to avoid paying their fair share of federal income tax. It’s past time to close these loopholes, bring these jobs back home, and rebuild our domestic manufacturing capacity.”View on their website ↗

“Tax Fairness for Working Families: We must increase the child tax credit and make it fully refundable so it is fair for parents and the extra costs they have in raising the next generation. We need to finance these investments by ensuring the ultra wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share.”View on their website ↗
“We also need to ensure that the economic profits from these massive technology investments are realized here in southern Minnesota. This means no taxpayer giveaways for data centers. Trillion dollar tech companies can afford to pay their fair share of state and local taxes, not get billions of dollars in special loopholes and tax breaks just to incentivize them to come here.”View on their website ↗
“This isn’t intended to be anti-tech, but rather to make sure that innovation actually serves the people of southern Minnesota. If tech companies want to build data centers here, they can negotiate publicly and in good faith. They can create good jobs for construction and operation. They can pay their fair share of taxes. And they can account for their own costs, from electricity to water demands. If not? No deal, no data center.”View on their website ↗

“Cut taxes for working families while ensuring that corporations and the top 1% pay their fair share.

How many permanent jobs will remain after construction? What tax incentives are being offered, and what will Arizona receive in return? How will nearby neighborhoods be affected by noise, heat, traffic and construction?
