Anna AnthroFour Big Tech Companies Avoid $51 Billion in Taxes in Wake of #Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act
“ The annual financial reports recently released by #Amazon, #Alphabet, #Meta, and #Tesla disclose that these corporations collectively reported $315 billion in US profits for 2025.
Yet they collectively paid just 4.9% of that amount in federal corporate income taxes not the usual 21% federal rate.
Tesla paying exactly zero.”

Four Big Tech Companies Avoid $51 Billion in Taxes in Wake of One Big Beautiful Bill Act
Four of the corporations whose CEOs flanked President Trump at his 2025 inauguration ceremony have now disclosed that they collectively received $51 billion in federal tax breaks in 2025, much of that likely from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA).

"Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes.
Families are torn apart.
Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared."

Le Pen, Weidel, Abascal, Netanyahu, Meloni, Salvini: the cast of Fidesz’s campaign video looks more like the trailer for a dystopian horror film than a political message. Orbán is the lead character in a vision of Europe made up of micro-states that erode rights and freedoms while trading away sovereignty to greater powers. It’s written “sovereigntist,” read “vassal.” Italy should not be there.

In just 4 years, he has lost all influence in Syria and Venezuela, with Iran to follow.
Had over a million Russians killed or wounded in idiotic assaults that achieved nothing and brought the economy on the brink of implosion.
And he turned two traditionally neutral states into NATO members, doubling his country's borders with the western alliance.
He's no cunning strategist, he's just a murderer.
