It's already estimated that the richest 1% alone evade $163 billion in taxes every year.
But Trump gutted the IRS — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires. The agency's audit revenue fell 35%.
Now, Trump's IRS is not publishing data on unpaid taxes.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting.
That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety.
Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.
Over 500,000 workers organized, stood up, and DEMANDED power in the last year alone.
With 16.5 MILLION workers now backed by a union, a 16 year high, the modern labor movement is officially unstoppable.
Collective power gets results. Every single worker deserves a UNION!
