Our tax code is rigged in favor of giant corporations like Disney, and everyone else, people like Ms. Straughter, are paying for it.

Well, these taxes would raise as much as $6 trillion that we can pour right back into communities and families all around this country.

profitable corporations that report low or no tax liability are engaged in aggressive tax avoidance.

The income tax is generally progressive with respect to the ordinary rich, but not the ultra-wealthy.
