Even as profits soar, corporate tax payments are down 25% this year thanks to Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. One of the main beneficiaries? Big Tech — which is using the tax breaks to help fuel its AI boom as it spends a fortune on the midterm elections. Remember this...

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.
