The 15 biggest winners of Trump’s tax scam—including Amazon, Walmart, and Meta—raked in a collective $97.5 billion in tax breaks over four years.
They then funneled $839 billion into stock buybacks and dividends to enrich themselves.
Corporate tax cuts don’t trickle down!

Walmart profits jumped to $15 billion in 2023.
Did it substantially increase wages or lower prices? No.
It spent $9B on dividends and buybacks — with most of the benefits going to the children of Walmart's founder, who together own 46% of the company's stock.
Textbook greed.

Walmart hiked prices on its Great Value food brands.
The result? Its net income spiked 93% to $10.5 billion towards the end of 2023.
Walmart rewarded shareholders with $5.9 billion in buybacks and dividends.
When I say price gouging is driving inflation, this is what I mean.

we could use some ethics laws instead of ethics rules...
Trump has repealed a Biden executive order mandating ethical behavior from administration employees.
The order told federal workers to:
-Not accept gifts from lobbyists
-Not take other bribes
-Not lobby for two years after government work
-And more
Now those rules are gone.
