More impunity for the elite, courtesy of the Trump regime.
There's a law on the books to make corporations pay taxes on the huge profits they report to shareholders.
The Trump admin has quietly decided not to enforce it.
This de facto corporate tax break will add hundreds of billions to the deficit.
Why is no one talking about this?
