We urgently need a federal privacy law to protect our privacy from big tech companies who spy on us on our phones and social media, to protect us from Flock cameras that are being improperly accessed by folks who are using that information to target innocent people.

Did anyone really think that Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla needed $51 billion more than we needed healthcare, childcare, housing, food assistance, and education? Does anyone actually think those companies will use those billions to make our lives better in any way?

graph shows: 4 big tech companies avoided $51 billion in federal income tax in 2025 Collectively these tech giants paid an effective tax rate of 4.9%

“The many sorrows of our recent history suggest that we humans have a learning disability. We might have thought that the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust were enough to inoculate us against the toxins there revealed and unleashed. But our resistance quickly fades. A new generation gladly abandons its critical and skeptical faculties. Old slogans and hatreds are dusted off. What was only recently muttered guiltily is now offered as political axiom and agenda. There are renewed appeals to ethnocentrism, xenophobia, homophobia, racism, sexism, and territoriality. And with a sigh of relief we are apt to surrender to the will of the alpha, or long for an alpha we can surrender to.”

— Carl Sagan

Under Reagan's tax cuts, the average tax cut for the top 1% was 68x larger than the average cut for middle-class households. Under Bush's tax cuts, it was 16x larger. And under Trump, 36x larger. The GOP has always governed for the privileged few.
