<\/span><\/span>Manitowoc Herald Times Reporter<\/span><\/span>Here is this week\u2019s letter to the editor of the\u00a0Herald Times Reporter. See our letters policy below for details about how to share your views.<\/p>\n Corporations regularly use loopholes and aggressive tax breaks to avoid paying their fair share in taxes, from stashing profits in offshore tax havens like the Cayman Islands to getting tax incentives for shipping jobs overseas.The 2017 Trump-Republican tax act made this even worse by cutting the corporate tax rate nearly in half, benefiting CEOs and wealthy shareholders, not working people.U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, and U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Illinois, have introduced the Corporate Tax Dodging Prevention Act (S. 991 & H.R. 2254), which would close scam loopholes and ensure large profitable corporations are paying their fair share in taxes. This new bill would raise more than $2.3 trillion over 10 years, allowing investment in working families and communities.Write your senators and tell them to support S. 991 and representatives to support H.R. 2254.Kim Everett<\/em>Manitowoc<\/em>Read more letters to the editor: <\/strong>Click here to read more letters to the editor of the Herald Times Reporter<\/span><\/p>\n Letters to the editor are published in the order in which they are received and letter-writers are limited to having one letter published per month.
