3 Things to Know
1. YOUR dollars ARE BEING Given to corporations
The money that’s meant for local parishes — to fund schools, police, fire, streets, bridges, water, beautification, sanitation and more — are being given away to large corporations through special tax deals. Decades of data shows that they aren’t creating jobs or growing the economy.
2. corporations pay less, you pay more
Big corporations love their special tax deals, but that means the rest of us have higher tax bills.
3. Deals Cut in the Shadows
These special tax deals are made between corporations, lobbyists, and un-elected appointees largely without the public ever knowing about them.
