They each spent MORE on stock buybacks and dividends, which overwhelmingly went to wealthy shareholders, than they paid in taxes after the Trump tax scam.

@rbreich Corporate largess and our tax regulations aside, a lot of those dividends and share price increases due to buybacks go to average - not mega wealthy- Americans through their 401k’s and retirement accounts.

If there is a problem, it’s with our tax structure. Not all capitalism is bad!
