Big tax bill doubles down on a 2017 export subsidy that mostly went to Big Tech. No evidence that it brought back jobs.
Now it's become an even more generous windfall that rewards a broader set of corporations for something they might do anyway, as I told @RichardRubinDC.

This comparsion in the NYTimes today is pretty stark. China is racing ahead to be a high-tech exporter of 21st century technologies, while the US is doubling down on being a petro-state exporting the technologies of the 19th century: nytimes.com/interactive/2025…

1. Trump's tax cuts overwhelmingly help the rich
2. His spending cuts are targeted at the poor
3. Tariffs cost the poor a larger share of their income
Roll these three regressive policies together and you get the largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history.

There are a lot of ways that our tax code incentivizes profit shifting and offshoring, but the so-called "round-tripping" loophole is one of the most egregious
Grateful to Ranking Member @RonWyden and his colleagues for introducing this commonsense reform

The U.S. must crack down on the international illicit economy and the crooks it serves.
Enforcing our Corporate Transparency Act is the way to do it.

National security, law enforcement and other experts all recognize a simple truth: destroying the Corporate Transparency Act will make Americans less safe
Treasury must withdraw its misguided rule gutting CTA, and implement the law as Congress intended

New from FACT's @Ianpgary in Bloomberg @tax: Big Pharma's tax games "may temporarily inflate the bottom lines of companies such as Merck, but they pose stark risks for investors over the longer term."

New from me: Businesses built a years-long lobbying campaign for a permanent extension of the pass-through deduction.
Republicans did that. And then went $104 billion above and beyond that.

WATCH: FACT's @Ianpgary spoke to @TRACE_Inc's @marcfs13 on the harmful effects of gutting the Corporate Transparency Act. "The worst case scenario is that “the US moves from a dirty money destination by default to a dirty money destination by design."
