Buy Back Into America

REBALANCING SOCIETAL RESPONSIBILITY

America Needs Successful Corporations,

Corporations Need Successful American’s

For decades, American corporations were the backbone of a thriving middle class. They built factories in our towns, offered careers to pursue, and invested in the people who built their profits. But during neoliberalism and globalization, that social contract broke. Wages flatlined. Jobs went overseas. Workers became disposable and quarterly profits became king.

Today, Corporate America has never been wealthier. Yet millions of working Americans struggle to afford housing, healthcare, and basic stability. This isn't sustainable. It’s not patriotic. And it’s not capitalism—it’s corporate extraction.

We are calling for a new era of responsible capitalism — where corporations buy back into the American middle class.

QUESTION?

You and I pay a progressive income tax,
where the more we make the more we pay…..

Why do Corporations pay a flat tax,

where the small business pays the same as the multinational?

Introducing the

Corporate America Responsibility Tax

The Corporate American Responsibility Tax (CART) shifts the tax burden away from small and medium-sized businesses, which are overburdened by rising minimum wages, increasing health insurance costs, and the complexities of an irresponsibly written tax code. It lowers their tax rates to encourage a healthier small business ecosystem and incentivize more entrepreneurship.

While increasing the taxes on multi-national corporations who use their immense profits not to support America but to:

  • Increase CEO pay

  • Conduct Stock-buyback to increase their share values

  • Buy competition and stifle innovation

  • Pay lobbyists to influence policy in their favor

How CART works:

CART is a corporate income tax designed to reward long-term investment in America and disincentivize short-term profit-chasing at the expense of workers and communities. The current corporate tax would change from a flat rate of 21% to the following:

A company only pays the higher tax rate on the portion of profits that fall within that bracket.

Example: A company making $2 billion in profit would be taxed as follows:

First $1M at 5%

Next $9M at 10%

Next $40M at 15%

Next $50M at 20%

Next $400M at 30%

Next $500M at 40%

Next $1B at 50%

This structure ensures that small and medium businesses pay significantly lower rates while highly profitable corporations contribute more to public infrastructure and economic stability.

We then build in tax incentives for responsible business practices:

  • Employee Wellness for corporations who pay a living wage and have a low employee reliance on government subsidized programs.

  • American Reinvestment for corporations who reinvest profits into U.S.-based jobs, workforce development, R&D, and infrastructure.

  • Fair Pay Ratio for corporations that maintain a low CEO-to-worker pay ratio

  • American Energy incentives for business who invest in clean and renewable energies to keep us competitive in the global markets.

  • 📈 Higher rates for corporations that offshore labor, engage in excessive stock buybacks, or rely on gig and contract work to avoid benefits and protections.

This is not anti-business. It’s pro-America. Because when corporations invest in the strength of the American people, we all rise together.

As Americans, we face a mounting fiscal challenge the current two-party political system has no intention of solving

Maybe it’s time we try something different
