When it comes to tax avoidance, Trump is not alone.
Federal income taxes paid in 2020:
Nike: $0
FedEx: $0
HP: $0
Salesforce: $0
Dish Network: $0
Charter Communications: $0
Duke Energy: $0
Yes. Dr. King was right. We have socialism for the rich, rugged capitalism for the rest.
Trump did not immediately deploy the National Guard yesterday, as he claims in his video. He initially resisted it, according to several people, as CNN, NYT and others reported.
It's been 4,076 days since the federal minimum wage was last raised from $6.55 an hour to $7.25 an hour.
During that same time period, billionaires have seen their wealth go up by more than $2,500,000,000,000.
Our job: Increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour and tax the rich.
If America’s distribution of income had remained the same as it was in the decades following WWII, the bottom 90% of Americans would now be $50 trillion richer.
But instead, nearly all of the benefits of growth these past 45 years have gone to the top.
The system is rigged.
Mitch McConnell in 2016: “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president."
Just days before her death, as her strength waned, Ginsburg dictated this statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: "My most fervent wish is that i I will not be replaced until a new president is installed." trib.al/2q7vg0g
"Tough on crime" campaigns have long been exploited for political gains and are full of racist dog whistles.
If our country actually cared to address crime, it would invest in alternatives to criminalization that get to the root causes. aclu.org/news/criminal-…
NEW REPORT: The combined wealth of U.S. billionaires has grown by $792 billion, up 27% since March 18. The 12 wealthiest billionaires in America are now worth $1 trillion.
This, in the midst of a global pandemic and as Trump proposes another capital gains tax cut for the rich.
Remember: A year after Trump's tax plan was signed into law, 91 corporations paid nothing in federal incomes taxes after making billions in profits, including:
Amazon
Netflix
General Motors
Chevron
FedEx
Eli Lilly
Starbucks
Whirlpool
Trump's tax plan was a giveaway to the rich.
"Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country. He has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job, but he is clearly in over his head. He cannot meet this moment. He simply cannot be who we need him to be for us. It is what it is."
And that's that on that.
Us when we found out that McConnell's HEALS Act provides $0 in nutritional assistance to families struggling to put food on the table but revives the 100% business meal deduction for CEOs' and lobbyists' "three-martini lunch."
In my view, we can no longer tolerate the three wealthiest people in America owning more wealth than the bottom 50 percent, while over 30 million Americans have lost their jobs and 92 million people are either uninsured or under-insured.
