The Feast

Cost of Corporate Giveaways 2025

Who's feasting on Florida ...and who's footing the Bill

Big corporations gorge themselves on Florida’s economy—stuffing their pockets with profits, chewing through our resources, and guzzling up our workforce like it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet.

No matter what we look like, where we come from, or what we do for a living, Floridians work hard to put food on the table, care for our loved ones, and provide a good home for our families. We contribute to our communities in many ways, including by paying our taxes to help fund our neighborhood public schools, affordable housing, health care, clean water, and keeping our people safe. But while everyday Floridians are doing our part, greedy billionaires and their multinational corporations are cheating the system to dodge billions in taxes and deprive our communities of the critical resources we need to thrive. 

This is largely due to the fact that politicians in Florida refuse to adopt a simple, common-sense tax policy called combined reporting

During Florida’s 2025 Legislative Session, our elected officials are debating who should get tax breaks and how they should be implemented. No matter how that fight plays out, there’s a clear solution to Florida’s budget shortfall: closing corporate loopholes by finally adopting combined reporting and making multinational corporations pay in-state corporate taxes on their profits in Florida. When big corporations pay us what they owe, we can all have the essential care, services, and support our families deserve.
