The duopoly has created the environment over the last 50 years so that these companies do not pay taxes. Calling them out on it when they are the ones directly responsible for the fact that they pay no taxes is political theater
Your aren’t wrong in calling out the duopoly disfunction. However you can’t ignore they also are partially to blame for this problem and are fully taking advantage of the situation.
They’re the ones that wrote the laws for the legislators to pass these tax benefits in their favor.
Look at them not paying taxes
Despite them enabling the tax laws which allow them to pay no taxes. This is more political theater
This is to pressure public opinion so that the remaining members of Congress and Senate vote to enable the ultra rich to pay their fair share.
It’s not meaningless theater, it’s politics, and effective political action.
Pressure public opinion? This implies that politicians and government gives a flying fuck what we think. When one billionaire has more political influence than millions of voters they don’t care what we think. It’s not like this is new news that nobody has heard of before. We’ve known this for decades, and nothing has changed. Even if they were taxed accordingly that money would not be reallocated to helping the working class.
Taxing the rich to save society is based on the assumption that taxation is required for the government to spend. The government can create money on a whim when they want it.
