Co-Signed Letter on Corporate Tax Reform to Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction
Excerpt: We are writing to urge members of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to address in their recommendations to Congress serious inequities created by the U.S. corporate income tax code. Many profitable Fortune 500 companies pay no federal income tax at all – yet some members of Congress are pushing for further cuts to corporate income taxes.

Letter to Congress: No "Repatriation" Tax Holiday for U.S. Multinationals
June 14, 2011
Dear Senators and Representatives,
As business organizations with small business members throughout the United States, we call upon Congress to reject pleas by U.S. multinational corporations for short and long-term tax holidays on profits held offshore, and to instead close the tax loopholes that reward companies for transferring U.S. profits, jobs and investment abroad.
