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.
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.
We are spending an estimated $1B per day on the war on Iran.
Now Trump and Co want an extra $200B from Congress to fund the war.
But healthcare? Cut.
Food stamps? Cut.
Education? Cut.
Cancer research? Cut.
Environmental protections? Cut.
And of course, taxes on the rich? Cut.
It's obscene.
About 70% of the U.S. economy runs on consumer spending.
But as wealth concentrates at the top, the richest 10% can’t spend enough to sustain it — while everyone else can’t afford to.
Reminder that trickle-down economics simply doesn’t make sense. It’s a hoax.
We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by.
Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
Welp
In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% — its lowest on record.
Meanwhile, Meta is pumping $65 million into elections this year to boost AI friendly candidates.
Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax, it's corrosive to democracy.
Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.
Trump imposes tariffs on companies.
Companies raise prices for consumers.
Trump‘s tariffs are judged illegal.
Companies then reclaim tariff money,
but they don’t lower prices for consumers.
Consumers get no refunds and continue
to pay more for goods—for good.
Rinse and repeat.

Republicans in 2021: Kyle Rittenhouse is a hero for being armed at a political protest.

Kind Neighbors Warning their Fellow Brothers and Sisters that the
ICE Terrorists are Coming. This is where we are currently at in the United States...
Masked government agents are conducting “show me your papers” stops, detaining 5-year-olds to use them as bait, and brutally murdering U.S. citizens.
Call it what it is — fascism.
History will not look fondly on politicians and so-called "leaders" of this country who stood by and enabled this.
Yep, keep us distracted by pointing out our differences!
Saint George Carlin pointed this out in one of his stand ups.
When we stop focusing on that and on what atrocities they're committing to enrich themselves at our expense...things get interesting.

U.S. billionaires got an astounding $1.5 TRILLION richer in the first year of Trump's second term.
Remember — this is happening as they get even more tax cuts in exchange for the social safety net being cut for everyone else.
"New Golden Age" for who?
What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.
Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with “We’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”
This message hits hard.
Trump's corruption is unlike anything I've ever seen: completely centered on one man's narcissitic bloviation.

Leaders of a Catholic church in Massachusetts kept a Nativity display with an anti-ICE message in place on Monday, defying an order from the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston to remove it. The display shows Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus missing, replaced by a sign reading “ICE WAS HERE.” trib.al/adPW46y

Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?
Reminding people in the military and law enforcement of their oath and duty to the Constitution is only a bad thing to someone who wants to rip up the Constitution.

Exercising muscles pumps out substances that can suppress the growth of breast cancer cells, a new study found.
“Our work shows that exercise can directly influence cancer biology,” said a senior author.
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.
The system is broken.
