Their success depends on nearly every tax funded activity: public education of workers, roads, bridges, sewer, mail,, law and enforcement, EMS, disaster protection, state/local funding & representation, etc. There is no reason that they would be immune or subsidized by all others paying taxes.

Corporate welfare is real. If we can't force them to pay 5heir employees a livable wage, then tax them to compensate.

Trump stupidly cut them. They need to go back up and more! I'm tired of the nations finance and debt being paid off the backs of the middle class. I'm tired of the people of this country getting screwed by the rich!

You better come up with a better plan. You and everyone else have always paid the bills. Tax this and tax that, we pay for it all. The corporation’s pass that to the customers. Time to get the facts.

Because they are entities not people, and people, mainly blue collar, should not have to carry the United States and big corporations on their backs! We are the ones who work to make the money for these companies, many of which don't pay a living wage.

The companies will just raise the cost of everything and pass the cost down to the consumer. It's the way Democrats destroy America.

They will just pass the increased tax on to the consumer in higher prices. or reduced compensation to their employees.

These taxes would be passed directly on to consumers. This would fuel inflation.

Corporate taxes are not paid for by corporations. They are paid by consumers. This is the middle class tax hike Biden promised would not happen. It is simply disguised as something someone else pays. Just another lie.

You have this one correct. We the consumers support the corporations and will be paying the higher taxes. Anything that the “President“ wants to spend, will always be paid by the general public, no matter how you present it. It pays to know who your voting for.

I think government spending has gotten out of control and needs over site and their own audit.

The Democrats, since Clinton have talked about doing what DOGE is not doing. Yes, Clinton and Obama did some EO, but always gave more lip service than action. Now we have action from Republicans' and still Democrat lip service.

Horrible what they are doing to people. I don't understand how firing people would take care of fraud and abuse. They are stripping people of their livelihoods and it will come back at us because the government will have to cover their unemployment stipends and we will have many more homeless ppl.

About 14.5% of the US workforce, or 20.2 million people, work in the public sector. This includes state, local, and federal government employees. That's way to many people working at a job that produces nothing.

Maybe you should turn of the news and research. Why pay 5 people to do the job of 1. Why keep lazy employees who don't produce when you can keep highly productive workers and increase there pay. See its called rewarding hard work and punishing lazy people. Hard work does pay off.

Elon is not an elected official, not even a cleared contractor for what he is doing. This sabotages democracy.

Elon is only exposing criminals. He is doing nothing else. Become informed, instead of brainwashed.

While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic.

Unilateral decisions from the Executive branch cannot go unchecked (on BOTH “sides”). Just like when Biden shouldn’t have bypassed the SC with student loan forgiveness. Democracy is fragile and we cannot lean towards dictatorship.
