GET TO YOUR CORNERS: Progressive groups are rolling out a new coalition this week, for what they expect to be a costly, time-consuming campaign next year over the future of the American tax system.
Hundreds of state and national groups are joining what’s known as Fair Share America, which is publicly launching with an event on Capitol Hill on Wednesday that will offer a progressive vision for what Washington should do in 2025, when it will be faced with the expiration of large chunks of the Trump tax cuts.
The new coalition’s aim is to counteract the work of a host of business lobbyists and other advocates for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, who long ago started buttonholing lawmakers and their staffs about next year’s debate.
