Your electric bill is up as much as 30%.
PG&E's CEO took home $63.6 MILLION.
Duke's CEO took home $51.2 MILLION.
And both companies paid NEGATIVE federal tax rates.
That's not a coincidence. That's a rigged system.
Tax the rich.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media.
Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it.
It was effectively banned as it never aired again.
I wonder why.
