BACKGROUND:

Corporate greed is driving a crisis of affordability in the United States. Under President Trump, wealth inequality has surged, with the ultra-wealthy exploiting loopholes in the tax code while everyday Americans pay the price. This hearing will examine proposals to implement wealth taxes on millionaires and billionaires, crack down on offshore tax avoidance, and rebalance the tax system to work for working people-not just those at the top.

The CPC Ending Corporate Greed Task Force is focused on advancing policies to hold corporations and billionaires accountable, including efforts on tax fairness, antitrust enforcement, price gouging, money in politics, and financial regulation.
