Haneefah Khaaliq:
Make it impossible for corporations to pay zero federal tax
Not paying taxes is un-American. Everyone, especially corporations, should pay their fair share. I promise to do the following: - Create legislation that makes it impossible for corporations to pay zero federal corporate income taxes on profits
-
Support legislation which taxes capital gains at the same rate as ordinary income because let's just be real, it is income.
- Develop up-to-date tax treaties between countries so that American companies doing business overseas must pay tax.

JD Vance:
Stop favoring multinationals; tax exporting jobs
Did you know that Google, a massive technology company that actively works with the Chinese Communist Party pays a lower tax rate than many Ohio manufacturers who struggle desperately to never do business with the Chinese?
At the same time, some of our biggest companies funded Black Lives Matter riots that destroyed our towns and cities. I'm done with an economy that favors anti-American multinationals over pro-American local businesses.
My fellow Republicans love to talk about tax cuts. By all means, let's cut the taxes of the companies that invest in our country. But we're going to raise taxes on companies that ship jobs overseas and use their money to
fund anti-American radical movements. If these companies are going to wage war on America, it's time America wages war on them.

Tim Shepard:
Break up companies that are "too big to fail"
Break up companies that are "too big to fail." Some of our most successful companies have become too big and the operation of the free market had to be suspended to prevent them from imploding the entire economy. Excessive consolidation has concentrated
market power in too few people's hands. To ensure small and medium-sized businesses are able to launch and grow across all sectors of our economy, we need to hold our largest companies accountable.

Let's end sweetheart deals for woke companies
Let's end sweetheart deals for woke companies. Woke corporations are chasing after appeasement from the same radical socialists that would happily let the government assume control of their means of production if given the opportunity.
These woke companies do so at the expense of and adversarial to conservatives. If corporate leaders want to force their partisan liberal values on us, then they should no longer receive any tax-breaks, sweetheart deals, or government contracts.

Remove occupational licensing mandates & other regulations
I have consistently supported legislation to protect small businesses and independent practitioners.
We can open more doors to success for Idahoans by removing occupational licensing mandates and other regulations that stand in the way of personal and business achievement.

Break up Big Ag; bar foreign ownership of Missouri farmland
Missouri is in the middle of a farming crisis. Massive, multinational corporations are attempting to own every facet of agriculture in our state.
Lucas will fight to break up Big Ag and to make sure no Missouri farmland can be owned by a foreign corporation so we can empower independent farmers to compete in an open market.

James Lankford:
Our corporate tax rates are some of the highest in the world
Our nation's corporate tax rates are some of the highest in the world. We charge our country's wealth builders and employers significant tax penalties, more than any other nation on earth, to bring their profits back to the U.S. from overseas.
The unfortunate result of these liberal policies is that over $1 trillion dollars in profits is now locked out of the U.S. market and American businesses are left open to takeovers by foreign firms. This is anti-American.
In 2017, James worked to pass the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The comprehensive tax reform was a win for the middle class by lowering all middle income tax brackets and doubling the standard deduction. Small businesses received needed relief with
a lowered tax rate and maintenance of certain exemptions. America did not become great by redistribution of wealth, America became great because there was an equal opportunity for any person to work hard and be a success.

Everett Stern:
Businesses shouldn't have to violate their religious beliefs
I believe that government has no right to tell restaurants and other businesses how they should designate their public bathroom for customers.
Nor, as the Supreme Court ruled, does a business have to perform services if it runs counter to their religious beliefs.

Bernie Moreno:
Big corporations are becoming as bad as big government
Big corporations are becoming as bad as big government. Big Tech companies colluded to erase President Donald J. Trump from the internet because they hate what he represents. If they can silence him, what will they do to the rest of us if we
step out of line? More recently, other large multinational corporations have been taken over by woke ideology, and they want to control our political system. I won't take corporate PAC money. I'll always fight for you.

Monopolies keep us divided because together we have power
I work for a non-profit fighting corporate monopoly power that has bulldozed over our communities. We fight big ag, pharmaceutical cartels, and the wall street profiteers who have been tearing us up--the monopoly corporations
and politicians who do everything they can to keep us divided because together, we have power.
