Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:
Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%
Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%
This is what a rigged system looks like.
U.S. businesses, not American consumers, will get the $166 billion in tariff refunds.
Including the 88 of the largest corporations that paid $0 in taxes in 2025.

Tucker Carlson: “I’ll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. And I want to say that I’m sorry for misleading people.”
We are 7 weeks into the most egregious stock market manipulations of our lifetime.
Orchestrated by a crooked president and his underlings.
Billions siphoned via false proclamations of ceasefires and peace talks.
With the criminals in charge, every day is a crime spree.
Any candidate that takes money from Palantir should not receive your vote.
Co-founder Joe Lonsdale is pouring millions into a PAC to buy off Democrats, especially in California.

A new BBC investigation has found a consistent pattern of spikes in financial markets right before Trump makes a major announcement, suggesting illegal insider trading.
Not a dime of taxpayer money or govt contracts should go to Palantir.
BOYLE: The CBO says the big beautiful bill eliminates healthcare coverage for more than 15 million Americans. Are they really all, according to you, illegals and defrauding the system. That's really your position?
RUSS VOUGHT: Yes
BOYLE: That's laughable!
“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”
🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”
Steve Bannon pissed his pants on stage at the World Economic Forum, Kash Patel is missing, Pete Kegsbreth is quoting Pulp Fiction as the Bible, RFK, Jr. eats raccoon penis, and Trump keeps using war to milk the markets. No one is coming to save us. We have to save ourselves. Lock them all up.
“I will use every avenue at my disposal to flip all of your seats like Jesus flipped the tables at the temple.
That is a promise, not a threat.” 🔥
~ Lindsay Garcia, Louisiana Congressional Candidate
Louisiana, pay attention.

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.
The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.
It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.
Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes.
That money should be funding schools, healthcare, and public services.
This is why people are mad as hell.
Linda Yaccarino replies to a Zohran Mamdani tweet to say that taxing rich people's penthouses is "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen"
Zohran Mamdani said he's going to start taxing rich people who buy luxury housing in NYC but don't actually live in there, and the former CEO of Twitter/X called it "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen."
Pete Hegseth quoted a fake Bible verse from the Tarantino movie Pulp Fiction yesterday during a Pentagon prayer service
Why do we have lawmakers in Congress who are willing to hold fellow members of Congress accountable for sexual assault but not a President?
Who among us has not mistaken the holy words of Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction for biblical scripture?
Instead of lowering costs for Americans, Donald Trump is abusing his power to try and steal taxpayer dollars.
That looks like corruption, plain and simple.
My new bill would close the loopholes that enable this theft and ban this abuse.
Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.
Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs.
Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026.
This is what corporate greed looks like.
"The effort comes in response to longstanding criticism that Harvard’s faculty leans overwhelmingly liberal."
Golly, I wonder why faculties tend to be overwhelmingly liberal? Are liberals more drawn to teaching? Have conservatives been engaged in a long war on science and knowledge? WHO KNOWS?
WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3b tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public'
IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated
W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?
Immigrants Pay More In Taxes Than the Average Person: They get paid lower wages per hour, but they work collectively so many more hours that over the last 30 years, the average immigrant paid ~$100K more in taxes than the average person. cato.org/blog/immigra...
I am so grateful for the outpouring of support from Californians across this state.
This is what a grassroots movement looks like. Real people showing up because they believe California deserves better.
I believe that too. And I am ready to fight for it.

If you paid taxes for 2025, you likely paid:
$124 — school lunch & nutrition programs
$49 — diplomacy to prevent wars
$19 — USPS
$19 — Federal Aviation Administration
$18 — national parks
and
$4,049 — weapons and war.
These priorities are hurting us all. We need change. #TaxDay
BALINT: Are you trying to get revenge on states that did not vote for your boss?
VOUGHT: What's interesting about your question is Joe Biden--
BALINT: Oh, for goodness' sake!
And Obama was president for twice as long.
