SIGN NOW: Tell Congress to reject Trump’s pandemic profiteering
All Members of Congress
Donald Trump’s latest proposal of restoring the corporate entertainment tax deduction and increasing the meals deduction from 50% to 100% is nothing more than pandemic profiteering.
Trump owns country clubs and destination resorts with exclusive restaurants. The very same kind of businesses where corporations like to wine and dine their clients.
But that’s not putting resources where the need is greatest.
Tax breaks that allow corporations to write-off expenses like country club memberships and luxury skyboxes aren’t going to help the out-of-work restaurant worker or put customers back in restaurants. It does however allow a corporate CEO to write-off 100% of a $1,000 bottle of wine as a business expense.
Sign the petition to Congress to demand that the next round of COVID-19 economic response legislation puts money where the need is greatest—in the pockets of laid-off families, better protecting first-responders and delivering food and other services to people who can’t put three square meals a day on their table. It must not pay for tax write-offs for CEOs and wealthy corporations.

It’s critical that the next round of COVID-19 economic response legislation put money where the need is greatest, not pander to pandemic profiteers. We demand that you reject Donald Trump’s proposal of bringing back the corporate entertainment tax deduction and increasing the corporate meals tax deduction from 50% to 100%, both of which benefit corporations, not laid-off workers.
