To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to reduce by 50 percent certain tax benefits allowable to profitable large corporations which make certain workforce reductions.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Corporate Welfare Reduction and Job 
Preservation Act of 2006''.

SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Corporations are subject to a tax rate of up to 34 
        percent or 35 percent.
            (2) Over the past several years, one of the most serious 
        problems affecting the middle-class has been corporate 
        downsizing. Many large, wealthy, and profitable corporations 
        have reduced the number of their American employees by 
        transferring those jobs to foreign countries or have reduced 
        the number of their employees in order to realize an immediate 
        short-term profit or increase in stock value.
