President Barack Obama released his fiscal year 2015 budget request to Congress on Tuesday March 4, 2014 and lawmakers will promptly ignore it.
But the annual ritual
highlights his policy priorities for the coming year and serves as a
Democratic Party manifesto as Democrats seek to draw a contrast with
Republicans ahead of congressional elections in November which include Overseas Tax Proposals.
The administration wants new limits on overseas tax avoidance by corporations by seeking to prevent them from playing one country's tax rules against an other's.
At the moment, big corporations must pay the top 35 percent corporate tax rate on foreign profits, but not until those profits are brought into the country.
Many lawmakers argue this structure encourages companies to make job-creating investments in foreign countries rather than in the United States.
