People Power United stands up to corporate greed
Thirty-five top American companies paid their leaders more than they pay in taxes.
People Power United is a group of community members that champions progressive values and power for the people. Did you know that if nothing changed and America elected a Republican President and one more Republican Senator right now, there would be a National Abortion Ban, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid would be slashed, and there would be zero hope for undoing the damage we have done to the planet? The 2024 election depends on us, and we are attempting to persuade people to vote for Freedom over Fascism. If you wish to support our efforts, please consider becoming a paid subscriber.
⬇️ It’s a no brainer why we are advocating for a more equitable system. Check out Laurie’s video:
Thirty-five top American companies paid their leaders more than they pay in taxes.
The collective net federal income tax bill of all 35 companies was negative $1.72 BILLION over the five-year stretch – meaning they collectively received more money back from the government in refunds than they paid.1
Over the same period, executive compensation for senior executives at these firms – including salaries, bonuses, perks, benefits, stock options and stock awards – stood at $9.49 BILLION.
There is a difference between saying you believe in "liberty and justice for all" and standing up for those values daily in your words and deeds. We need community members and leaders speaking out against wealth inequality.
In America, no matter our color, background, or zip code, we value our freedoms. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and have an opportunity to thrive. Wealth inequality is a national and global threat to all of us.
We can push back against extreme greed:
