Here's an idea....Sue your fucking state for shutting small business down! Every governor has been ruled against in court for violating the Constitution and imposing illegal lockdowns. Yet, there are no lawsuits by the People against those governors.

The resolution proposes an additional tax, at a rate of 95%, on excess profits as calculated by subtracting their 2020 gross earnings from the average gross earnings of these companies from 2016-2019.

The resolution notes that excess profits taxes were originally adopted by Congress during WWI and WWII to “siphon off war profits” from companies profiting as a result of the war, and provide assistance to those who were struggling and who needed help the most.

Times are tough only big ,cash fat, well placed (online)companies are surviving due strictly to government. interference in the market.

Why should Amazon be forced to hand over "excess profit"for something the government has imposed??


And what the fuck in your soi boi purple haired starbucks world is "excess profit"????

I hate big corporations.
Let them rot, stop handing them money.
They are the ones lobbying our politicians, corrupting the voting system.
They always ask for handouts. Every time.
All the while, I see so many small mom and pop shops, local stores that the locals love, getting absolutely shafted.
Some will never open their doors again after this.
It just isn't fair.

Siphoning is how the government grew. We would rely on them to actually follow through on managing money and funds to help small business? Just another pool for them to abuse.

Sure, lets have them also watch over our retirement, or healthcare.
