Major cor­po­ra­tions plot lob­by­ing blitz on tax cuts in prepa­ra­tion of Democ­rats win­ning in Novem­ber

A coali­tion of big cor­po­ra­tions are lay­ing the ground­work to pro­tect Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump’s cor­po­rate tax rate in antic­i­pa­tion of a Demo­c­ra­t­ic major­i­ty in Con­gress next year.
The RATE Coali­tion, a group made up of 21 cor­po­ra­tions such as Ver­i­zon, Tar­get, and Wal­mart, is prepar­ing a six-fig­ure lob­by­ing and adver­tis­ing blitz in order to pre­serve the 21% cor­po­rate tax rate that was put in place with the president’s 2017 tax bill.
