From Americans for Tax Fairness (https://americansfortaxfairness.org/):
For too long, the rich and powerful have been using anonymous corporations and our rigged system to launder money and dodge taxes.
No more! The U.S. House just passed a bipartisan bill to end anonymous corporations in the U.S., pushing our country toward much more transparency and openness. But will Senate Leader Mitch McConnell allow a vote on a bill that actually holds the rich and powerful to account?
Sign the petition at https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/sign-now-tell-mitch-mcconnell-to-pass-the-corporate-transparency-act-hr-2513-to-hold-the-rich-and-powerful-to-account: Tell Mitch McConnell to allow a vote on the Corporate Transparency Act of 2019 (H.R. 2513), which will stop faceless elites from using their anonymity to launder money and dodge taxes.
Whether it’s laundering money to dodge taxes or to hide a criminal enterprise, this bill is critical to unmasking secret shell companies and the individuals behind them. Experts consider it the single most important change Congress could make to better protect our financial system from abuse.
This is the first time in U.S. history that either chamber of Congress has passed legislation to expose the owners of shell companies. Now, it’s your turn, Mitch!
Together, we’re demanding a fair share tax system that benefits everyone, not just the wealthy elite.
