Washington, D.C. — Today at 2:00 p.m., CAP Action will release a report on Mitt Romney’s tax plan, which encourages corporations to ship American jobs overseas and avoid paying their fair share in taxes, on a press call with CAP Action President Tom Perriello, former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, and AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka.

The new analysis illustrates how the 2012 Republican presidential nominee’s proposal to permanently exempt "foreign" corporate profits from U.S. taxation incentivizes companies to use accounting gimmicks, stash their money in offshore tax havens, and ship American jobs overseas. By contrast, President Barack Obama has proposed a global minimum tax to make sure corporations are paying their fair share and not gaming the system.
