In just four days, Massachusetts leaders will debate if they are ready to end a corporate tax heist which drains $79 million from the state budget each year … or go on with business as usual.
They are hearing a lot from the corporate lobbyists who are fighting to protect their tax schemes – help me make sure they hear from you, too.
Can you sign our petition right now, so I can hand your signature to legislators at this critical hearing?
Yes, I can sign.
Where is Massachusetts going to get the money to improve the T, expand early education to every child or invest in job growth? Well, we can start by looking at the Cayman Islands.
Corporations dodge taxes by booking profits made here to offshore tax havens that levy little to no tax.
It's about time that these corporations start living by the same rules as the rest of us. It's time to close these loopholes and invest in an economy that works for everyone. Oregon and Montana have already passed laws to recoup money stashed in offshore tax havens. If we enacted the same policy here in Massachusetts, it would generate $79 million dollars, and legislation has been filed in both the State House and Senate. [1]
On Tuesday, June 9, legislators will be considering this bill at a meeting in the statehouse. I will hand deliver your signatures at that time. Add your name.
Thanks for doing your fair share,
Nathan Proctor
State Director
Massachusetts Fair Share
