16. Specific lobbying issues

Repeal discriminatory, superfluous, and ultimately ineffectual Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT) enacted in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), to include removing sections treating legitimate deductions, allowances, and tax credits as "base erosion benefits." BEAT impairs the ability of US multinational manufacturers, banks, and insurance companies to compete on a level playing field with foreign firms, and is unnecessary because two other taxes enacted in TCJA, GILTI and FDII, are strong and transparent deterrents of base erosion and abuse.
