Robert Reich: 35 major corporations paid their execs MORE than what they paid in federal income taxes between 2018 and

2022.

Each of the companies generated billions of dollars in profit over the same period.

When I say the system is rigged for the rich, this is what I mean.

It is time to correct this situation if this nation is going to survive and take care of its people. Recently the IRS was given more budget money to audit high incomes (and where the money is hidden and guess which party would not increase IRS auditing). IRS came up with 1billion plus in taxes not paid by the wealthy. You think you could get away with this? It is time to know the name of representatives that allowed those give aways to the rich so we can get rid of them in government to stop making laws that hurt the average worker by letting business get away with things you can't when paying taxes. Or are you just going to let it ride and ignore the situation?

That would be just about all of them.
