We have a rigged tax code that has essentially legalized tax dodging for large corporations.

Enough is enough.

American workers should not be paying more in federal income taxes than profitable companies like Target, Amazon, and T-Mobile.

Trump's 2nd-term economic agenda would hurt workers & kids to help the rich. He wants to:

-Cut taxes more for the rich
-Defund the IRS so the rich can cheat
-End student loan forgiveness
-End overtime rules
-Slash school lunches
-Allow child labor
-Weaken unions

Be warned.

Stock buybacks were illegal until Reagan made them legal in 1982.

Just about the same time, wages stopped rising for most Americans.

Does that sound like a coincidence to you? 🤔

After Jan 6, GOP megadonor Nelson Peltz called it a “disgrace” and apologized for backing Trump.

But after breakfast with Trump this month, Peltz now says he'll 'probably' vote for him.

Never underestimate how quickly billionaires will sell out our democracy for tax cuts.

The Trump tax cuts slashed the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

But with new loopholes and special breaks, it's even worse.

Massive corporations like Netflix, Bank of America, Citigroup, and others have paid an effective rate of less than 5%.

The system is rigged.

Saint Andrew’s in built in Byzantine style in 1908. It is the largest and most artistically significant church in the Balkans and one of the largest in Europe. The central cupola is 46 meters tall and is the base for a 5-metre gold-plated cross.

The FTC has confirmed what we suspected: During the pandemic supply chain disruptions, big grocery chains pressured food suppliers to favor them over smaller competitors and hiked food prices to rake in record profits.

Those prices have stayed high even as disruptions eased.
