Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:

The corporate AMT does not increase efficiency or improve fairness in any meaningful way. It nets little money for the government, imposes compliance costs that in some years are actually larger than collections, and encourages firms to cut back or shift their investments. The Congresss bipartisan Joint Committee on Taxation was undoubtedly correct in recommending that it be repealed.

This assignment requires you to help compile a threaded discussion. One side is against appealing the AMT because it is considered it fair, equitable and efficient. The other side is for repeal. Consequently, the reforming side considers it not effective and counterproductive.

The first student to post should create two posts within the discussion. The first should be designated to the PRO argument and the second should be dedicated to the AGAINST argument. All subsequent replies should be made to these two posts.

Here are some resources to help in your debate:

• Pro and Con Debate (Links to an external site.)
• Position Paper (Links to an external site.)

Keep in mind that the corporate AMT was actually repealed with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. You can comment on whether you agree with this or not in your discussion.
