This would result in the five largest grocery stores getting a $1.7 billion dollar tax cut. Some populist, hey?” - Robert Reich

Reich's a socialist and an idiot.

Oh yeah, a socialist to the bone. Balancing the scales.

“General Electric, General Motors, Meta, Tesla, T-mobile had a combined $70 million in profits last year. Yet they paid an effective average tax rate of just 6.9%. Meanwhile the typical American family pays a tax rate of 13.6%” - Robert the Reich!

Do you know that those companies combine to employ 544,000 people, meaning that if Reich's numbers you report are correct, the average "profit" earned by the company per employee is $128? Workers of the world unite!!!!

I would add that $70 million is actually not a lot for a very large company. There are companies that make billions in profit. However, the absolute number is meaningless without more context. $1B on profit could be quite reasonable for a large company, while a small company could be gouging its customers to make $70M.

So how do you measure profitability? On a per share basis. If, for example, company X makes $1B in profit, and there are 100 million shares outstanding, then there is $10 in profit per share. If a share is worth $200, then the return on that share is $10/$200 = 5%, not too shabby but also not great. So by extension the $1B profit is not outrageous.

Big Pharma....Chefs pals.

I do admit I enjoy playing the devils advocate around here, the contrarian with little to no political acumen whatsoever and nor do I care to have. I’m just dumbfounded by how Trump has managed to convince the “little guy” that Billionaires are people too and deserve a hug and need all the help they can get.

Remember, Chef has always been under the impression, Blobbee is as wide as he is tall.

And yes, if Canada became a part of the USA, I would be moving to somewhere in the southern states in a heart beat.

Nobody buys just a '12 pack' of Busch (Light) down here. The 30 packs are standard.

You can bet that it wouldn't be California - down there, they actually think that people with your political slant are normal.
