And all this is happening because Corporations don't like Gov't regulations, and billionaires want to save 3% on taxes in the BBB. That it. That's all. Three frikin percent, and they're willing and eager to destroy Democracy to get it. It's a disease of greed, hypocrisy, and short term thinking. They're going to squeal when we eliminate ALL tax loopholes across the board!😊
