Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education?
Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power.
Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

For every $1 in funding for the CFPB, more than $4 has been placed back in consumers’ pockets.

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation.
Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs.
