And in a private call with business groups on Tuesday, Sinema asked a question about the bill's proposed 15% minimum tax on corporations that gave them some hope for optimism.

"Is this written in a way that's bad?" Sinema asked, according to Danny Seiden, president of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce, who relayed the call to CNN.

"sinema" and not any other dems: even the cursory, completely avoidable pretend idea that corporations might pay tax is beyond the pale

national law review posted:


The Act creates a Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) equal to a 15 percent minimum tax on adjusted financial statement income for corporations with profits in excess of $1 billion.

Corporations would generally be eligible to claim net operating losses and tax credits against the AMT, and would be eligible to claim a tax credit against the regular corporation tax for AMT paid in prior years, to the extent the regular tax liability in any year exceeds 15 percent of the corporation’s adjusted financial statement income.

You didn't and don't have to learn what it is cause it's fake. The parliamentarian will be why they can't do anything until it's something else, the specifics are not important.
