Jim Hightower on Corporations
A diligent watchdog group, Institute for Policy Studies, recently documented this by analyzing financial data of 35 enormously profitable giants, including Tesla, T-Mobile and Duke Energy. Over a four-year period, these 35 lavished pay of $9.5 billion on their honchos. Even for giants, that's an extravagant payout. Where from? Tax dodging.
Combined, these outfits paid zero in federal taxes and even extracted nearly $2 billion in refunds.

@Madken65 My RW friend was quick to justify their tax-dodging as legal. I reminded him that it was immoral to use all the national infrastructure while extracting $2B from the treasury. I said that our elections are basically about moral issues, rather than about laws. E.g. the one I shared from @Graci about the pastor who called for LGBTQ+ executions, DEI, abortions, or the basic tenets of America First.
