2018 House MI elections: on Corporations


Brenda Jones: Close corporate tax loopholes; make them pay fair share

I strongly oppose the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. This bill will not benefit the middle class but instead will put more money in the pockets of wealthy corporate executives and shareholders. I will demand that Congress implements more progressive tax policies across the board for both individuals and corporations, including on pass-through and estate income. Closing corporate loopholes that permit billion dollar corporations to avoid fair taxes is essential to the growth of the economy.
