KJS DC 4.26

This is not a conspiracy. It’s a transaction.

Let’s just put the numbers on the table:

Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla collectively reported $315 billion in US profits in 2025. They collectively paid 4.9% of that in federal corporate income taxes. Tesla paid zero. The total tax savings — what they kept instead of paying at the standard 21% rate — was $51 billion in a single year.

Amazon’s federal tax bill dropped 87% in 2025 — from $9 billion to $1.2 billion — while its pretax US profits surged 44.5% to $89.5 billion. At the same time, the company laid off 30,000 workers.

Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.6% on its profits — avoiding $13.7 billion in federal income taxes in a single year.
And across corporate America, annual corporate tax revenues fell $65 billion in 2025 alone.

It gets crazier – hang in there.

The CEOs of all four companies — Zuckerberg, Bezos, Pichai, and Musk — were standing at the inauguration when Trump was sworn in. They sat front row. They smiled for the cameras. And within months, the One Big Beautiful Bill delivered them a combined $51 billion in tax savings.

This is not a conspiracy. It is a transaction. Documented in securities filings. Confirmed by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. Reported by Bloomberg this week.

The beautiful big bill for the rich will provide $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1% over a decade while cutting Medicaid by almost as much over the same period.

Read it again folks. A trillion dollars out of the government’s hands — your roads, your schools, your health coverage, your environmental protection, your FDA, your election security — transferred directly to the balance sheets of companies that were already the most profitable in human history.

And in the same year, those companies laid off tens of thousands of workers. Passed costs to consumers. So their executives could collect record compensation packages.

If you are angry, you should be. Stop using these brands and tell your friends. It’s the best thing you can do right now to blow off that steam.

Four billionaires sat at the inauguration. Their tax bill passed. They for so much richer. The workers got fired. Medicaid got cut.

That is the transaction. In plain sight. With receipts.
