Memo to the media: Don't write about corporations suddenly lowering prices without mentioning how their profits have been skyrocketing or their tax bills have been shrinking. They could have kept prices lower all along. They chose note to. Give people the full picture.

Reminder: When you invest in the American people, the middle class expands, and the economy grows.

When you cut taxes on the rich, the rich get richer, and the gains don’t trickle down.

It’s that simple.

Trump asked Big Oil to give him $1 billion for his campaign last month.

He promised lower taxes and to gut environmental regulations in return.

Big Oil CEOs already appear to be taking him up on the offer, inviting Trump to a fundraiser in Houston yesterday.

The CEO of Live Nation — the parent company of TicketMaster — received $23.4 million in compensation last year.

Meanwhile, the median Live Nation employee was paid $28,207.

That’s a CEO-to-worker pay ratio of 833-to-1.

Monopoly power is terrible for everyone but rich CEOs.

Amazon squeezed sellers and jacked up prices.

Apple used its power to kill off challengers.

Ticketmaster/Live Nation leveraged its dominance to jack up ticket costs and tack on massive fees.

Each company is facing an antitrust lawsuit from the Biden admin.

The Supreme Court's "code of ethics" has no enforcement mechanism and no way for the public to lodge complaints of misconduct.

SCOTUS Justices are being allowed to police themselves, which they've already proven they can't do.

Is it any wonder why Americans don't trust them?

Corporate profits hit record-highs, yet price hikes won’t stop.

Why?

Well, in 75% of US industries, fewer companies control more of the business than 20 years ago.

Little-to-no competition allows a price gouging free-for-all.

Corporate monopolies get rich, and we pay the tab.
