Our Mission
The Alliance for Business Partnerships (ABP) represents the interests of American family farms, small businesses, and other enterprises that are made possible through partnerships. These financial arrangements help form the foundation of America’s economy — allowing individuals to pool resources and capital in order to turn ideas into jobs and economic growth. ABP stands firmly against government overreach that threatens the existence of these partnerships and the opportunities they offer in communities across America.
Fighting a Weaponized IRS
The Internal Revenue Service received a windfall of $80 billion in taxpayer funding from the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022. It is clear that the IRS is using these funds to expand its own power and finance an all-out assault on business partnerships. IRS agents are threatening business partnerships with punitive new measures that jeopardize valuable resources and sensitive business data from hard-working Americans.
Holding Rogue Lawmakers Accountable
Over the past few years, a few rogue members of Congress have launched a crusade on squeezing more money out of American job creators. Lawmakers are now taking aim at business partnerships with outrageous changes to the tax code. Misguided policies would jeopardize the business environment that allows farmers, restaurateurs, and many other entrepreneurs to succeed, instead forcing them to comply with costly new red tape and unnecessary bureaucracy.
Protecting American Jobs
Millions of good paying jobs are supported by partnerships in the United States. These jobs offer everyday Americans with opportunities in farming, manufacturing, energy, and other vital sectors of our economy. Turning the business environment on its head with an unnecessary crackdown on business partnerships would ultimately impact workers and those seeking employment.
