ISSUES

They're raising your taxes by $600

Did you know that more than 80 percent of America's biggest banks and corporations, including some of those we bailed out, don't pay their taxes?

Instead, they park their money in offshore tax havens like the Cayman Islands. As a result, the average Ohio household, a.k.a. you and me, is paying $600 a year to cover for $100 billion they don't pay.

Why should we have to pick up the tab for tax dodgers? Sign our Tax Day Declaration and tell Congress to close the corporate tax loopholes.

Petition Text

TAX DAY DECLARATION

Dear Member of Congress:

When large corporations skip out on their taxes by moving their “headquarters” to tax havens like the Cayman Islands or shifting profits overseas, we the taxpayers are the ones who pick up the tab.

Why should we have to cover the tax burden of tax-dodging banks and corporations?

Your colleagues, Sen. Carl Levin and Rep. Lloyd Doggett, have introduced the Stop Tax Haven Abuse Act -- S. 506 and H.R. 1265 -- to crack down on corporations that use tax havens. We call upon you to support this measure. The time for reform is now!
