Massive federal budget cuts (to fund Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations) are about to trigger a major healthcare, hunger, and education crisis in Massachusetts.
300,000+ people in MA risk losing healthcare & food assistance due to massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP
MA is set to lose more than $2 billion in federal aid — blowing a massive hole in the state budget
Federal cuts to PreK-12 schools, colleges, and childcare could hurt more than 1 million students.
Unless we act, these cuts will harm us all.
Massachusetts can prevent these devastating budget cuts by tapping the state’s $8 billion rainy day fund and by making billionaire global corporations like Apple, Amazon, McDonalds, & Walmart pay their fair share in state taxes.
Global mega-corporations conceal their profits in offshore tax havens to avoid paying their fair share in Massachusetts taxes. Offshore tax dodging also gives them an unfair advantage over local businesses, which can’t hide their profits offshore. We pay our taxes — why shouldn’t they pay theirs?
Let’s stop the cuts and protect our care by making billionaire global corporations pay their fair share!
Tapping just 15% of the state’s rainy day fund ($1.2 billion) would still leave a large balance for the future, and help us protect access to critical public services. Meanwhile, our Mass. Corporate Fair Share legislation would make large global mega-corporations pay the state’s existing corporate income tax rate on more of the profits they shift overseas, raising over $400 million in new annual revenue to help ensure the state’s financial stability in future years.
It’s time to prioritize the people of Massachusetts over multinational corporations’ profits. By standing up to corporate power, Massachusetts can level the playing field for local businesses and adequately fund the public services we all rely upon.
