Video: Senator Carl Levin, 2014 FACT Advocacy Days Address
Senator Carl Levin speaks during the FACT Coalition’s 2014 Advocacy Days in Washington, DC.
There is widespread agreement, across the political spectrum, that the gaming of the tax code by multinational corporations is a problem. When profits and jobs are shipped offshore, we not only harm the U.S. economy, we fuel a tax haven industry that drains wealth around the world. We seek to fix the problem of large, well-connected interests gaming the tax system.

Following the release today by House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Representative Dave Camp (R-MI) of a plan to overhaul the U.S. tax code, the FACT (Financial Accountability and Corporate Transparency) Coalition released the following statement from its director, Nicole Tichon:
Don’t Reward Corporations for Bad Behavior
With any opportunity that seems too good to be true, there is often a fatal flaw.
That is the case with The Partnership to Build America Act, introduced by Rep. John Delaney (D-Md.), which seems to be gaining more and more support and was even embraced by President Obama in his State of the Union address.
FACT and 24 other organizations sent the attached letter to the leaders of the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee in January 2014 regarding the tax extenders debate.
