The system is broken by design. We are here to expose how corporate lobbyists rig tax laws to enrich insiders, forcing American workers to pick up the bill. This post outlines our plan to establish a minimum corporate tax and fund a middle-class tax cut—the core of the Merit First Ecosystem.
How Congress Became the Loophole Factory
The current legislative process isn’t about public service; it’s about a corporate feeding frenzy. Most tax and spending bills are written behind closed doors, often handed to Congress by lobbyists who represent the very companies that stand to benefit.
These “gifts” come in the form of complex, technical language that serves as legal loopholes—a secret escape hatch for a billion-dollar firm. This systemic corruption, where influence is bought and paid for, ensures that the system works for the donor class and never for the American people who actually pay their taxes. We are running to end this practice entirely.
Ending Tax-Free Profits: Our Minimum Tax Law
The solution must be simple and direct: If you do business in America and make over $1 billion in profit, you will pay a minimum corporate tax rate.
This policy has one goal: to establish a floor that mega-corporations cannot sink beneath, regardless of how many lawyers and lobbyists they hire. This is not a tax on innovation; it is a tax on exploitation. It ensures that money currently spent gaming the system will be paid to the nation that allows these companies to thrive. We will eliminate the incentive to cheat and establish fairness as the foundation of our economy.
Reversing the Burden: The Middle-Class Tax Cut
This isn’t just about making corporations pay; it’s about rewarding the people who drive our economy.
Every single dollar recovered from closing these billion-dollar corporate tax loopholes will be earmarked to do one thing: provide an immediate, substantial tax reduction for all working families and small businesses.
We will eliminate the income tax burden for millions of the lowest-earning Americans and restructure the tax code to ensure that the middle class gets to keep more of the money they earn. When we stop subsidizing the wealthiest, we can finally invest in the American family.
The Economic Shift: Three Steps to Accountability
Our plan is clear and actionable:
The Merit First Ecosystem is about simple fairness. If you work hard, you deserve a system where everyone—including the world’s most profitable companies—is held to the same standard. Ending the Corporate Tax Shell Game is step one in making that happen.
