I mean nothing screams oligarchy (or feudalism?) thank being able to “cherry pick” your own revenue obligations
Changes like these are not widely publicized by the Treasury, but are closely followed by tax planners for the country’s biggest corporations — who are applauding the new guidelines. In notes to clients, advisers at KPMG celebrated the new “array of choices” available for investors seeking to avoid the corporate alternative minimum tax. They noted that the Treasury’s moves provided “significant flexibility” for clients to trim their bills, allowing them to “cherry-pick” the rules that best suit their needs.

The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service, through a series of new notices and proposed regulations, are giving breaks to giant private equity firms, crypto companies, foreign real estate investors, insurance providers and a variety of multinational corporations. The primary target: The administration is rapidly gutting a 2022 law intended to ensure that a sliver of the country’s most profitable corporations pay at least some federal income tax. The provision, the corporate alternative minimum tax, was passed by Democrats and signed into law by President Joseph R. Biden Jr. It sought to stop corporations like Microsoft, Amazon and Johnson & Johnson from being able to report big profits to shareholders yet low tax liabilities to the federal government. It was projected to raise $222 billion over a decade.

I introduced the Safeguarding Personal Information Act of 2025 to repeal the federal mandate forcing states to share citizens’ personal data and redesign driver’s licenses to meet federal standards. REAL ID has effectively created a national ID card with no limit on how much personal information can be shared between states and the federal government. The government should not have a dossier on every American. You should never have to “show your papers” to travel freely within your own country or enter a building your tax dollars paid for. My bill repeals this dangerous mandate and restores the privacy, due process, and First Amendment rights stripped away in 2005.

Kentucky libertarianism joins the resistance...? NO to Argentina/hedge fund bailouts and NO to bombing fishing boats. Someone send Senator Paul an inflatable frog costume.
Image Dear Friend, You can find my latest update below! Dr. Paul Looks to End the Fed’s Big Bank Bailout Image I took to the Senate floor to call for an end to the Federal Reserve’s big bank bailout. The Fed has been paying both foreign and domestic banks to park their money instead of lending it. These subsidies, Interest on Reserve Balances and the Overnight Reverse Repurchase Agreement, have cost taxpayers more than half a trillion dollars in just the last five years. When the Fed operates at a loss, it can’t return profits to taxpayers as it normally does. Ending these subsidies would put downward pressure on interest rates and stop this massive transfer of wealth to Wall Street. My amendment to end the Fed’s big bank bailout failed 14–82, but this is only the beginning of the effort. In the coming weeks I will be revealing more details about these payments and how they are ripping off all American taxpayers. Watch my remarks here. Read the bill here. Dr. Paul Calls for a Restoration of Constitutional War Powers ImageI spoke on the Senate floor in support of a War Powers Resolution to end unauthorized U.S. military hostilities in Venezuela. The Constitution—not the President—decides when America goes to war. For decades, presidents from both parties have ignored this fundamental principle, dragging us into conflicts without a public debate or a vote. If this administration wants to use military power, it must seek authorization from Congress. This vote is about restoring the separation of powers and making sure the American people have a voice before we enter another foreign war. Watch my full floor speech here.
