The text discusses letters to the editor of the Herald Times Reporter, with one letter supporting a 0.5% sales tax increase in Manitowoc County to address budget issues.
The text is a letter to the editor of the Herald Times Reporter advocating for support of the Corporate Tax Dodging Prevention Act introduced by U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders and U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky. The act aims to close loopholes and ensure large profitable corporations pay their fair share in taxes, raising over .3 trillion over 10 years for investment in working families and communities.
The U.S. Congress should hike taxes on corporations that have been raising prices to increase profits.
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky introduced a bill to close tax loopholes for corporations, end tax breaks for businesses that move jobs abroad, and stop companies from hiding profits in tax havens. The Corporate Tax Dodging Prevention Act could raise over trillion in revenue over a decade with the tax haven provision alone. President Joe Biden’s budget blueprint includes proposals to hike taxes for corporations and ultrarich individuals.
Fact: The bill introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders would allow the federal government to collect an additional .3 trillion in tax revenue over the next decade.
Some green energy companies in the US are not paying their fair share of taxes, despite receiving billions in subsidies. President Biden, who advocates for fair taxation, is in bed with these companies. The renewable energy lobby has collected over a quarter trillion dollars in subsidies over the past two decades, with little to show for it in terms of energy production. These companies are exempt from a proposed minimum corporate tax, highlighting the hypocrisy in the industry.
President Joe Biden is calling on corporate America to pay their fair share of taxes, but it turns out that some companies, particularly green energy firms, are not paying their fair share. Despite receiving billions in subsidies, wind and solar power industries are among the biggest tax dodgers in the country, paying nearly zero income taxes. These companies have received over a quarter trillion dollars in subsidies over the past two decades, with no significant increase in renewable energy production. Biden’s policies, such as the Inflation Reduction Act, are expected to drain the Treasury of up to .8 trillion over 10 years. The green energy lobby is exempt from Biden’s proposed mandatory 15% minimum corporate tax, highlighting the hypocrisy in his stance on tax evasion. The green energy industry is profiting off climate change hysteria, with little to show for the taxpayer-funded subsidies they receive.
