The corporate tax letter asks for an extension of cuts that came with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

“An ambitious corporate rate cut would fuel our struggling economy with a flood of capital into the United States, stop capital from leaving the United States, create a spike in job opportunities for all Americans, and generate economic growth across-the-board,” the letter said.

The inflation letter gave an example of an item bought for $100 now being taxed at $120 due to inflation, not an increase in the item’s value.

“It is simply unfair for a taxpayer to have to pay capital gains tax on inflation, since the taxpayer receives no actual increase in value or purchasing power due to inflation,” the letter said. “Quite the opposite. The taxpayer is already struggling to pay for everyday expenses, and then also has to pay capital gains tax on phantom gains. It is long past time for this injustice to be corrected.”
