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.

Reginald Burch

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!

Tom

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.

Rebecca Palacios

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.

Randel Hearne

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

Steve TheBmann

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

Will Mason

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.

Tom

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.

Defund all welfare programs. Make people responsible for their own actions.

Max

SNAP is primarily funded by the U.S. federal government through congressional appropriations, with the USDA providing the funds, and states administering the program and covering their share of administrative costs.

Trump won this. SCOTUS ruled in favor of Trump.

Trump basically has no say in this, it's on the shoulders of Congress. Might want to study what all the 111th Congress did back in 2009-11... this is all about payback.

Zaos Gonzolez

Spend the money on something else. Send missiles to israel instead.

Toasty

Its all a game both sides are playing with real people in the middle. Trump should step aside and tell congress this mess is all theirs.

Max

Schumer knows this is all on the backs of the democrats.

Because the president wants to put America first and make it as prosperous as it once was. #MAGA

Steven Miles

Exec branch has the responsibility to manage the economy with other countries, congress can’t even produce an annual budget - look at this democrat shutdown, they want to spend another 1.5T on healthcare subsidies- sorry, we are in the hole $35T, wake up America.

Congress has the power of the purse, if only they would use it. but they're too scared of being primaried by him. Of course, he should not have 1/3 of the powers he has adopted, whether constitutional or not. He's an abomination!!

Tom Pummer

Trump’s tariffs violate the constitution. Congress holds the nations purse strings. I can’t believe we hardly heard a peep from members of Congress on his actions. Spineless

Rick Martinson

Absolutely not. The Constitution gives that authority to Congress, NOT the executive branch of the government. Trump’s actions are absolutely illegal and unconstitutional. But he doesn’t care, and has been giving Congress and the American People the finger for the past 10 months.

Mike Moreno

Memo to trump...there is a document in this country called the Constitution. Read it, learn it, live it.
