Trump's tax evasion scheme is nothing compared to the 350 American companies hoarding corporate cash offshore.

There are more companies cheating all Americans out of paying their fair share in taxes.

Small mom & pop businesses are not on the list. They (we) are the backbone of the U.S. We need to end #citizensunited & #lobbying in our politics. The imbalance of taxes and loopholes is staggering.
3/
Small biz's are owned by R's and D's. The incoming Republican Congress could work on this. But they will choose distraction, revenge politics, Hunter Biden, chaos, CRT, #Trans, and #antiWoke culture war topics that do nothing to help tax paying working-class Americans.

This is why we need additional resources for the IRS to collect over $1 trillion dollars from these #extremerich tax-dodging corporate companies. As long as they remain unchecked, corporate socialism, greed and inflation will continue.

The real BIG LIE was started by Reagan. Tax breaks do not trickle down. We need to close every loophole, force these companies to repatriate, and tax the 380,000 churches and religious organizations too. What would Jesus do?
/6
What will the incoming Republican Congress do in 2023/24? Absolutely nothing. Their track record proves it. Their voting records proves. Are they listening to the 72% of Republicans and 85% of Democrats what change. NOPE.

My sources for this post are Congress.gov, Pew Research, NYTimes, Citizens for Tax Justice, Hartford Institute, National Congregational Survey of 2020, and my own personal research. The information is out there.

Tomorrow, the 118th Congress is sworn in. Will McCarthy wield the speaker's gavel? We shall see. He promised to restore committees to #Qanon RepGreene and RepGosar. With these two crazies back in, it will be like herding cats. What else has he promised for the 218 votes??
/9
Coincidently, tomorrow is "National Write to Congress Day." I plan to write a letter of concern to my #trans, #homophobic, #January6th sympathizer representative who does not live in my congressional district. Yea, I'm talking about you #maga bigot @RepDanBishop. #nc08
/10
I will also write letters to my U.S. Senators, state and local representatives too. We must hold our representatives accountable.
Please like, retweet my thread and write your letter. 🧵

Hey, @BillCassidy you were on @ThisWeekABC claiming the "Inflation Reduction Act of 2022" will raise taxes on those making less than $200,000 and referred to the Joint Committee on Taxation for this claim. Can you provide where @JCTgov stated this? I can't find it. /1
According to the Editors at Bloomberg @opinion

"this is a sober attempt at fiscal responsibility"

"this compromise would be a big win...for the US Taxpayer. As America's loquacious president once said in another context, it's a big effing deal." /2

It allows Medicare to negotiate prescription drug costs. A savings of $288 billion over 10 years for Taxpayers. It's almost like you want to protect Big Pharma profits.

Could this be why you are a NO?🤔 /3

It's fitting that today marks both #JuneteenthDay and #FathersDay.

Maybe we should talk a bit about that intersection.

In June of 1865, 3 months after the end of the war and 2 and 1/2 years after the Emancipation proclamation was signed. Finally, on June 19, 1865, #NC08

General Order No. 3 was issued which freed enslaved people in Texas. Finally, free at last.

How many enslaved fathers were there that couldn't be with their children? How many families did that forever impact? #NC08

How many black fathers now are impacted by American governance? The name George Floyd comes to mind. #nc08

We have a National teacher shortage. The teachers we have are spending their own money on school supplies. The teachers we do have are working unpaid overtime every day. The teachers we do have are expected and.... #nc08

required to teach an entire class of students of grossly separate levels of understanding and abilities while also dealing with a significant minority who have individual education plans. Now some morons what to add to this by arming teachers? Are these people insane? #nc08

Our school systems overwork and underpay these folks now, and you want to add to this? Where will they be trained? Will this police training be added to their degree program thus adding to the financial burden of their education? #nc08

The @GOP complained for over 6 mos., blamed Pres. Biden for high gas prices and then voted NO on H.R.7688 - Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act. Here is the list. It's almost like they want the Oil Co. to price gouge for more profits.🤔
