They should also look into the $450 billion non profit church scams in the US and the world. The WJ had an article on drug trafficking, embezzlement and out and out fraud ! A nice tax haul there .

Superb and hopeful report, Diane. Thank you.

"Best of all, she can implement the minimum corporate income tax as Secretary of the Treasury — without butting up against the Republican wall of tax-deniers and corporate sell-outs — because there already exists a minimum corporate tax and she can regulate away the loopholes."

Thank You. I have a much better understanding now of a befuddling topic (befuddling mostly because, "Hey WHAT? They can get away with this?!"). Thrilled to know Janet Yellan may have the power and/or persuasion to stop this robbing of America, and of other countries around the world.

Price growth will compensate growth of the corporate taxes. That is, the treasury will receive more money at the expense of consumers.

Well said Diane, I had an entirely different opinion on this tax plan before I read this article. Looking forward to your piece in Post tomorrow. - Thanks!!

First look at this essay. If Bazzos thinks 21% is fair, ten full steam ahead. Wallmart damages the poor and small towns beyond belief, that should be the main target. The amount of small town businesses it has killed is criminal. Interesting to see how it's progressed since 2021.

Apple charges top dollar for their products. I like the packaging design the products arrive in to our studio. Your piece illuminates a disturbing flaw in the corporate character of Apple, Inc. Perhaps we should insist on a rebated refund equal to the percentage of tax revenues not paid by them, from Apple payable to Apple customers? We have purchased $K’s worth of product over the decades. Kinda similar to a class action law suite, no?
