What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

@rbreich @bloor Having spent a couple of years now working for a company that doesn't have shareholders - it's made it very difficult for me to ever want to work for a company with them, especially American ones. Last company I worked for was US - CEO had an accident, retired and was replaced by someone who literally hired a guy called "Shrek" to basically gut the company and optimise for shareholder value.

@rbreich I've been thinking about a Netflix subscription. I'd really like them to know that this is what decided me. I'm going to get my hi-fi working instead and read more.

@rbreich I'm sorry Mr. Reich but I immediately thought of several phrases one hears in the military quite often but I'm sure you'll understand when I refrain from that.

I have chosen instead, from The Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, they are "Dicked In The Nob" and who live "To Diddle" all others. When they in fact need to be "Dewitted".

@rbreich and every one of those CEO's will expect you to die for that money if they decide to go to war to steal somebody else's money

@rbreich
if the CEO ever gets more than taxes paid; throw their ass in jail

What about small... shut up, you're not a CEO, you're a delusional pratt!

I bet most also pay their lobbyists handsomely too

@rbreich

Another interesting stat would be the corporations that have paid their CEOs more than all the rest of their workforce combined.

@rbreich I am less concerned with how much corporations pay in taxes than I am with how much their executives pay.
