Economic Justice

Lowering the corporate tax rate will cost the country at least $522 billion over 10 years, money that should be invested in public goods that benefit us all, not further enriching the already wealthy.

Today, congressional Republicans are pushing tax reform proposals that would cost the country over $5 trillion and would likely widen the racial wealth gap and slow economic growth.

In a fair tax system, everyone pays their fair share, no one pays more than they can afford, and the government raises enough money to fund public goods that benefit us all, like education, housing, transportation, and health care. But the current tax code is inequitable.
