without mentioning the "effective tax rate" after deductions i get pissed! It is so disingenuous as the uninformed completely fall for it. This above is reality, most, like Trump, don't pay yet they persecute the people they keep poor for needing help!

Corporate welfare costs our country way more than social welfare and it effects far fewer people. Both are paid by us through taxes.

Corporate welfare supports people who earn upwards of 200 to 300 times what the workers for these companies earn.

Many of these companies have workers that earn so little that they need social welfare to get by... even though the corporations are posting record profits.

This is double dipping.

Our taxes pay for corporate welfare and social welfare. Yet, these corporations make profits from underpaid employees. Record profits during these years that our country is struggling.

Let's cut Corporate Welfare!
