Sign the petition to close corporate tax loopholes!Here’s what we know: Unfair tax giveaways and loopholes, put into place by some of the nation’s most powerful companies and CEOs, allow the most profitable corporations in the world to avoid paying their fair share in federal, state and local taxes. The cost to communities and schools is in the hundreds of billions of dollars—but the true loss to America’s children is impossible to calculate.
But here’s another thing we know: You can do something to help set things right. Sign our petition asking lawmakers to close corporate tax loopholes. If lawmakers closed just the seven most egregious federal corporate tax loopholes, it would produce an additional $1.465 trillion in revenue over the next 10 years that the government could use to fund public education and other services, according to estimates from Citizens for Tax Justice. It would also pave the way for states to tighten up their corporate tax structures.
