Corporations make billions from U.S. research and education, but then they turn around and cheat us on taxes. And Republicans think corporations should get a tax break.
Poor Americans pay about 25 percent in total taxes, while the 1% pays anywhere from 18 to 23 percent. Meanwhile, the richest 10% as a group receives almost as much government assistance as the poorest 50%.
America has always been great for the richest 1% and it’s rapidly becoming greater, as multi-millionaires shifted nearly $4 trillion in wealth away from the rest of the nation to themselves last year.
“Somewhere, right now, a cash-strapped parent or budget-limited patient will skip acquiring an EpiPen. And someday they will need it in a life-threatening situation, and they won’t have it, and they will die.”
We’re fooling ourselves by believing in a future with satisfying middle-class jobs for millions of Americans. It’s becoming clear that income should be guaranteed so that people can find productive ways to serve society.
It may not improve much next year, if House Republicans have their way.
People with money and power are still appalled by the notion of a popular democracy. But something is different now, as the American majority are better able to communicate and unify in pursuit of a progressive nation.
Perhaps they feel immune from the killings in the streets, for they rarely venture into the streets anymore. They don’t care about the great masses of ordinary people, nor do they think they need us.
While candidates bicker and Congress stagnates and the rest of us dwell on the latest shooting tragedy, the super-rich enjoy the absence of attention paid to one of our nation’s most destructive issues: tax avoidance.
After 35 years of wealth distribution to the super-rich, inequality has forced much of the middle class towards the bottom, to near-poverty levels, and to a state of helplessness in which they find themselves being blamed for their own misfortunes.

Thanks to the Electoral College, leftists have perhaps the final say this November over whether democracy can hold on for at least another four years, or if fascism will take root and infect all facets of the federal government for decades to come.
What remains unknown is whether post-truth Republicans will succeed in 2024 as the Nazis did in 1933.
Based on details that have emerged about Trump’s presidential agenda, the far-right Heritage Foundation plans for the next GOP president to have all the tools necessary to demolish multicultural democracy and establish a white, Christian ethnostate that imposes a gender apartheid not unlike the Taliban’s Afghanistan.
Like Hitler, Trump has a unique command of propaganda, a captivating public presence, and he knows how to drive home narratives beneficial to him and harmful to his enemies.

History shows there are no “one-day” dictatorships. When democracies fall, they typically fall completely.
