The Coalition for a Prosperous America fights for tax reform that supports rebalancing trade, rebuilding domestic supply chains, and penalizing the offshoring of production or profits.
Pro-American Tax Policies.
CPA advocates changing our current international corporate tax system to sales factor apportionment because domestic companies should not be undercut by foreign and multinational corporations who can shift profits overseas to gain a tax advantage.
CPA supports shifting towards a goods and services tax, offset by reducing domestic taxes on production. Value added taxes give companies in foreign countries an unearned trade advantage. A US goods and services tax would help domestic production and reduce the trade deficit.
CPA supports tax incentives to spur new productive investment and employment as part of a broader strategy to re-shore or build industrial supply chains in the US. These incentives should be combined with assuring a strong market for domestic production here and protection from foreign trade predation.
Former member of the Federal Reserve Board, Stephen Miran, did not waste much time post-government to come out publicly in favor of tariffs. In a June 28th thread on X, Miran made the market case for tariffs – centered on the “optimal tariff,” failed economic models, and revenue tariffs to curb or cut taxation.
Years ago, CPA warned that China was using American clean-energy tax credits to capture our solar industry — and we led the fight to slam that door shut.
One year after Liberation Day, the most aggressive tariff escalation since 2018, the United States collected just half of what its own policy prescribes.
A House Natural Resources subcommittee heard from witnesses last week calling for special tax breaks and for Congress to consider restrictions on copper scraps exports.
As the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects a $1.9 trillion federal deficit for fiscal year 2026, Congress is under increasing pressure to identify durable budget pay-fors. In most cases, that discussion quickly narrows to three familiar choices: raise domestic taxes, cut spending, or continue borrowing more. But tariffs warrant more serious consideration.
Cheap imports shaved prices on some goods but never made Americans richer. Wage losses and job destruction outweighed any discounts.
