Biden mentioned 50 or 55 corporations that paid $0 in Federal Taxes & that value was $40B.
Was that $40B EACH or combined?

I would love for him to name 3 companies that paid $0 in taxes last year. Hell, name 1, Joe.

I assume combined, if not, that's a damn big number

Fairly certain his math was:

55 companies * 55 states + one potato = $40B

I'm sure they will have ties to trump if anyone presses for these companies

$4T so far and another $2T on the horizon will be paid off by $40B.

I thought I heard him say 50 companies that paid 0 in taxes profited $40B.

Which honestly doesn’t sound like much to me, considering how large some of the companies are.

Also, I don’t care with the positive economic impact they have.

That's my point.
If it's 50 * $40B each = $2T. That'll pay for 1 recent massive spending bill...but that can't be the reality.

So, going after $40B to pay down the $2T recently spent plus another $4-$5T already owed & about to be spent....what's the point?!?

Dunno but in either case if we took 100% of those profits it wouldn’t even make a dent in what he’s been spending.

This doesn't even include the Jobamacare revamp that is coming. I guarantee they'll try to bring back the fine, even though they say everyone will be covered.
