Our research shows that from 2018 to 2022, 280 of the largest U.S. corporations spent seven times more on enriching shareholders―through stock buybacks and dividend payments―than they paid in federal taxes. These companies shelled out $2.7 trillion on stock buybacks alone―four times what they paid in taxes. There's a solution on the table. Sens. Sherrod Brown and Ron Wyden have introduced the Stock Buyback Accountability Act, a measure President Biden proposed in his State of the Union address. This crucial legislation would: Increase the tax on stock buybacks from 1% to 4% Generate $20 billion annually for vital public investments Push corporations to invest in workers and innovation, not just shareholder payouts By passing this act, we can begin to rebalance our economy, ensuring corporations contribute their fair share to the country that enables their success. Stand up for an economy that works for all of us.
