The 15 biggest winners of Trump’s tax scam—including Amazon, Walmart, and Meta—raked in a collective $97.5 billion in tax breaks over four years.
They then funneled $839 billion into stock buybacks and dividends to enrich themselves.
Corporate tax cuts don’t trickle down!
Walmart profits jumped to $15 billion in 2023.
Did it substantially increase wages or lower prices? No.
It spent $9B on dividends and buybacks — with most of the benefits going to the children of Walmart's founder, who together own 46% of the company's stock.
Textbook greed.

Walmart hiked prices on its Great Value food brands.
The result? Its net income spiked 93% to $10.5 billion towards the end of 2023.
Walmart rewarded shareholders with $5.9 billion in buybacks and dividends.
When I say price gouging is driving inflation, this is what I mean.
why would anyone ever hire this law firm again?
can't even negotiate in their own interest...
wasn't this guy already the president of the united states just like 4 or 5 years ago for like 4 years?
now, in this scenario, he is firing lots of federal employees which might lead to such problems as "the guy that signed the contract not being there and nobody else is there"
this is a stupid man saying stupid things

from my experience, they just don't want to pay taxes for other people to receive benefits of govt while still wanting all the services the govt provides for themselves.

But parts of the operation are becoming clear: Many of the executives involved are expecting to do six-month voluntary stints inside the federal government before returning to their high-paying jobs. Mr. Musk has said they will not be paid — a nonstarter for some originally interested tech executives - and have been asked by him to work 80-hour weeks. Some, including possibly Mr. Musk, will be so-called special government employees, a specific category of temporary workers who can only work for the federal government for 130 days or less in a 365-day period. The representatives will largely be stationed inside federal agencies. After some consideration by top officials, DOGE itself is now unlikely to incorporate as an organized outside entity or nonprofit. Instead, it is likely to exist as more of a brand for an interlinked group of aspirational leaders who are on joint group chats and share a loyalty to Mr. Musk or Mr. Ramaswamy.
The plan is for a cohort of unpaid, unofficial volunteers to live within federal agencies for six months, working 80 hours per week on undefined tasks, conspire with one another on Signal, and get nearly everyone around them fired. It doesn’t sound fully baked to me. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/12/u...
