The House DFL tax bill holds corporations accountable, closing loopholes they have taken advantage of to get out of paying their fair share. While income inequality continues to grow in Minnesota, the DFL tax bill would tax corporations’ foreign profits in order to invest in working families, farmers, small businesses and seniors.
The Senate GOP plan overwhelmingly favors corporations and the wealthy. It continues persistent underfunding of schools, which has contributed to race, geography, and income-based opportunity gaps.
