&lt;h2 id="a-liana-banyan-im-just-a-bill-bounty-poster"&gt;A Liana Banyan &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m Just a Bill&amp;rdquo; Bounty Poster&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 id="what-is-this-bill"&gt;What is this bill?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Corporate tax reform in the 119th Congress addressing the IRA-established corporate minimum tax (15% on financial-statement income) and the IRA-established stock buyback excise (1%). Current proposals expand or modify both.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="what-does-it-actually-do"&gt;What does it actually do?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Corporate minimum tax&lt;/strong&gt; — adjustments to the 15% minimum-tax base and exclusions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stock buyback excise&lt;/strong&gt; — increases from 1% to higher rate; closes loopholes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pass-through deductions&lt;/strong&gt; — phase-out modifications&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;R&amp;amp;D capitalization&lt;/strong&gt; — addresses the 2022 R&amp;amp;D-capitalization-amortization shift that&amp;rsquo;s affected startup economics&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id="who-votes-when"&gt;Who votes when?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;House Ways &amp;amp; Means + Senate Finance active consideration&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id="how-does-this-affect-cooperative-class-families"&gt;How does this affect cooperative-class families?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The cooperative&amp;rsquo;s Cost+20% margin structure is structurally distinct from buyback-financed extraction. The cooperative does not have stock to buy back. Federal corporate-tax policy affects the broader economic environment in which cooperative-class members operate.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
