Decades ago corporate taxes provided 33% of the public treasury; today they provide 11%. Not coincidentally that was when America had a thriving middle class. Tax policies favoring the corporate elite has been and continues to be the primary driver of income inequality.

And I’m sure those corporations that paid those taxes still made plenty of profits. If the expectation is for people making minimum wage to pay taxes, then the wealthy and the corporation must pay their shares. We have to expand our thinking about equality. #VoteEarly

This tweet needs to be posted daily to add awareness of how corporations do everything in their power to keep money for their own companies and executive salaries versus contributing for the collective good of the country. They, a la Trump, view people who pay taxes as fools.

Why I'm supporting the Oregon People's Rebate! By raising the corporate tax just a little on all top performing companies who sell in Oregon, we can distribute $750 to every person a family of 4 would receive $3000! No questions asked, to spend as you need Www.opr2022.org

Not to mention, their profits have soared to record highs, billionaires have now increased their wealth by nearly one trillion during the pandemic alone. While millions of hard working Americans can not find meaningful employment that pays a dignified wage to support a family.
