Supports corporate tax fairness

• Relieve the tax burden on working-class North Dakotans.
• Oppose tax relief policies targeted primarily at wealthy political donors.

“Profitable corporations and the ultra wealthy need to be paying their fair share. The hard work of regular North Dakotans creates the capital, they should not be alone in carrying the tax burden.”
