Fact of the day

 

Reverse Robin Hood

In 2020, fifty corporations with over $40 billion in pre-tax income paid zero federal income taxes.  These companies included Fed Ex (remember this the next time one of their asshole drivers cuts you off while driving on roads that you--but not their employer--helped pay for), Nike, Dish Network, and Hewlett Packard (among many others).

All of this courtesy of Donald Trump and the republican party.

It's a continuation of a decades long pattern from republicans to give corporations welfare but skimp on basic necessities for average Americans.  And it's why the Biden administration is right to pay for the upcoming jobs plan/infrastructure bill with an increase in corporate taxes.  

And it's why Biden is saying goodbye to republicans failed trickle down economics and hello to building America back better by investing from the bottom up.

It's Not Just an Infrastructure Bill, It's a Jobs Plan, Too

Peace,
