Opinion: The corporate alternative minimum tax is at risk of stealth repeal as business interests lobby for “relief,” but the Treasury Department shouldn’t take the bait.

As I told @senatebudget.bsky.social last year, tax evasion is a crime. And it's not a victimless crime: it hurts those of us who play by the rules, leading to ballooning budget deficits, higher taxes, less public investment in health, energy, other shared priorities.
