Cato Institute
The Cato Institute is a research organization focused on public policy, often referred to as a think tank. Its mission is to champion individual freedom, limited government, free markets, and peace. The institute's researchers and experts engage in impartial and independent studies on a variety of policy topics. Established in 1977, the Cato Institute draws its name from Cato's Letters, a collection of essays from 18th-century England that advocated for a society with minimal government interference. These writings were influential to the founders of the American Revolution. The core principles of that era—individual freedom, limited government, and free markets—remain relevant today, especially in our age of global commerce and vast information access. Promoting social and economic liberty is not just beneficial for a free society; it is essential for shaping a brighter future.

Generated with ElevenLabs AI technology. The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) awards roughly $14 billion in tax credits annually to private apartment building developers in exchange for keeping rents capped for lower-income tenants. But far from being an effective solution to housing affordability, the LIHTC is a complex and costly form of corporate welfare.

Now the bill heads to the Senate, where lawmakers have the opportunity to improve a bill that currently falls short of delivering serious pro-growth tax reform. Here are four ways the Senate can improve the House-passed tax bill.
