Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

The next time you hear Republicans in Congress complaining about the national debt, remember that roughly 25% of it has been added during Trump's presidencies — largely thanks to his tax cuts for the rich. The notion that Republicans care about the debt is one of the biggest lies in politics.
