The Taxpayers Protection Alliance (TPA) urges members of Congress to oppose the Build Back Better Act, H.R. 5376. This bill is expected to be called for a vote on the House floor without a score by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and without a true estimate of the cost to the American people.
Yesterday, the Taxpayers Protection Alliance (TPA) was shocked when it read the new reconciliation framework released by House Democrats. The bill includes a number of taxes and regulations that would stifle the economy. It also spends at levels that will exacerbate concerning inflationary pressure the nation has seen as of late.

The Taxpayers Protection Alliance (TPA), a national consumer and taxpayer group, strongly opposed the proposals for prescription drugs agreed to by congressional Democrats to include in the massive reconciliation package. The deal includes a bevy of price controls that would lead to supply shortages and increased wait times.

The Taxpayers Protection Alliance (TPA) urges members of the Senate Judiciary Committee to reconsider proposed changes to the False Claims Act. Existing proposals would lead to frivolous litigation and raise a number of due process concerns.

A Federal Communications Commission (FCC) under the Biden administration may revisit the failed idea of heavy-handed regulations of the internet known as Title II net neutrality. Gigi Sohn, a former FCC counsel and self-described “net neutrality pioneer,” recently received the nomination for the open fifth seat on the commission in the same week that FCC commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel was named permanent chair. Both women are big proponents of reimplementing the Title II regulations that the FCC imposed under former chairman Tom Wheeler that were reversed under former chair Ajit Pai.
Even if the supermarket shelves aren’t brimming with Halloween candy and decorations, it’s that time of year again for the sour and sweet of Halloween. Consumers deciding to flock to the movie theaters for the first time in 19 months will find plenty of spooky new features, ranging from Halloween Kills to a full-length film about a…lamb. Oh, and James Bond is about to be replaced yet again, which is always an unsettling process. But, there are far more scarier things afoot in Washington, D.C. than a masked slasher or a haunted mammal. Lawmakers are (once again) raising hell on taxpayers and consumers via historically high spending levels and onerous new rules. So, sit tight and take a gasp and gander at this year’s Taxpayer Tricks and Treats.
As discussions continue in Congress toward a $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill, the undersigned groups write to express our concern on behalf of millions of taxpayers and consumers across the country about the possible extension of the production tax credit (PTC) and investment tax credit (ITC) that amount to large federal subsidies for wind and solar power. If continued, these credits would not only burden federal taxpayers with billions in spending, they would perpetuate a generous subsidy that is no longer necessary.
