New Income Tax Disclosure Rules Mean Halliburton Can No Longer Conceal Its Offshore Tax Avoidance The company’s latest annual report throws the doors wide open once again on Halliburton’s penchant for offshoring its profits to tax havens, thanks to terrific new disclosure rules introduced by an ob...

Oil giant Halliburton claimed $138 million of income in the Cayman Islands last year.

If you know anything about the Caymans, you know that's virtually impossible.

But the country has a 0% tax rate—so Halliburton dodged $29 MILLION in American taxes.

And our tax code let them.

24% of Americans skipped treatment and medication last year to save money.

34% skipped a meal.

America is on the brink of having its first trillionaire.

If trickle-down tax cuts worked at all, no one would be skipping treatment or meals while billionaires get richer.

24% of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck.

And America's billionaires got $1.5 trillion richer last year.

So of course, we're cutting services for working people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

What a joke.

Two great reasons to pass Bernie Sanders' 5% billionaire wealth tax:

1. $4.4 TRILLION in revenue for education, healthcare, childcare, and housing

2. Less money for the billionaires rigging our economy, warping our politics, and controlling our media

That's called a win-win.

If we passed Bernie Sanders' 5% wealth tax on billionaires, Musk would still have $792 billion.

Zuckerberg would still have $209 billion.

Bezos would still have $207 billion.

And we would have trillions in revenue, more money in our pockets, and a better healthcare system.

America's billionaires got $1.5 TRILLION richer last year, and pocketed massive tax breaks.

We let them get rich enough to buy our media, warp our elections, and evade justice for their dealings with Epstein.

Of course we should pass @sanders.senate.gov' 5% wealth tax on billionaires.

So we have the money to attack Iran and shovel tax breaks to billionaires, but not to make healthcare more affordable or lower prices for families.

Got it.

You paid more to stare at Roku City at 1am than Roku paid in federal income taxes last year.

Because they paid $0.

Boston Herald headline: Walmart to pay $100 million to settle FTC allegations over deceptive practices for delivery drivers

Boston Herald headline: Walmart to pay $100 million to settle FTC allegations over deceptive practices for delivery drivers

Walmart created three of the richest living people on the face of the planet.

The company makes some of the biggest profits in America—and has received some of the biggest tax breaks.

And they still chose to screw over their delivery drivers.

We're being scammed.

Right-wing billionaires already own the leading social media platforms and several news outlets.

They're using them to warp what news you see and what truth you believe.

Forty years of trickle-down economics has given billionaires control over the rest of us.

Tax the rich.

A judge says the IRS broke the law 42,695 times when they provided taxpayer data to DHS.

We tried to build an IRS that cracked down on wealthy and corporate tax cheats.

The billionaires said no and illegally turned the IRS to invading regular people’s privacy.

Says it all.

Billionaire Larry Ellison just had the way cleared for him to purchase Warner Brothers. Warner Brothers owns CNN.

This means yet another Trump-allied billionaire is controlling our media sources.

Billionaire wealth is warping our society beyond recognition.

Tax the rich.

Holy sh*t.

Because they paid $0.

Our tax code and our economy are so broken.

People know those tax cuts last summer weren't for them.

They know tariffs are killing their pocketbooks.

They can see their healthcare bills skyrocketing.

You really can't hide a rigged economy behind a "booming stock market" anymore.

We're onto the game.

Tennessee GOP Intro Bill To Kill Women Who Get An Abortion Here's an update on the bill, on the men responsible, and how you can contact them to stop this bill

Hey, so, reminder that Tennessee Republicans are introducing a bill that would kill women who get an abortion.

I dug up the MAGAs names, numbers, emails, & a script to use when calling them. Men—we need to step up. Act. Inundate them. Shut this trash down ASAP.

Jesse Jackson’s Timeless Economic Platform He ran for President twice on the concerns that still define American political life—inequality, affordability, and vanishing jobs.

Services in remembrance of Jesse Jackson have started in Chicago. I wrote a column recalling his 1988 presidential campaign and discussing his economic legacy.

Does anyone really think that 70 billion-dollar corporations needed tax breaks more than we needed healthcare, housing, childcare, education, and food assistance?
