GE received a huge chunk of taxpayer money and then didn't deliver. they are giving back $87 million to the city, which is a relief. But ... did they have to? Could they have kept it if they wanted to? Reminder to put a clawback in any such deal (though, don't make those deals)

Terrific story. As we struggle to pay for housing, our prices are being driven up by the ease of money laundering in real estate. We should #EndAnonymousCompanies @FACTCoalition @fairsharetweets

One of the biggest issues in the old tax code was companies offshoring income to dodge taxes. @FACTCoalition Gary Kalman here explaining how the new law makes it worse. #TaxDay

It's #TaxDay, and it serves as a reminder that not everyone plays by the same rules. Thanks to games and loopholes, many highly profitable companies pay nothing on their protits

I'm just gonna keep on saying it: The job promises of these "site negotiations" are always bunk. We shouldn't waste public dollars chasing after a mirage of jobs, we should be investing in a #NewEconomy that actually works. https://t.co/RyuAfaWpm2

Anonymous shell companies help terrorists, opioid trafficking and modern day slavers. And the @ABAesq defends them. Why is that? 👇

The lower corporate tax rate encourages companies to shift profits and jobs offshore because of various tax breaks, according to @taxjusticewonk of @iteptweets.

"the offshore industry is not a minor, shadowy part of our economic system: it is the system ... thanks to a financial and banking system that allows them to hide behind anonymous company structures, and asks few questions"

The #GOPTaxBill includes huge rewards for companies that offshore profits ... a $400B write off on taxes they currently owe.

Given the #TaxReformBill Amazon now has MUCH higher incentives to move second hq to Canada:
1) terrotorial tax system increases incentives to offshore $ & operations
2) health care will become much more expensive in us, Canada is public
3) tax bill brutal for higher ed

what is the rationale for deficit spending in the time of economic growth, and then inserting a trigger in that spending to roll it back in time of economic downturn?

Should we call it the "all or nothing" approach?

If you're not used to JCT tables, comparisons here are not year-to-year. They are compared to current law.

It's not just that taxes for under <$75,000 go up when everything expires after 2025. Taxes go up compared to Congress doing nothing.
