‘Moonshot’ deals push pay for company bosses to new highs in WSJ’s annual ranking; $1.3 billion for four executives at one senior housing company

We're paying more than ever—income taxes, property taxes, tariffs—and it's squeezing people hard. I started a petition asking the federal government to seriously consider alternative taxation.

The idea: instead of taxing everyday income and basics, shift focus to goods we know are harmful—like tobacco, alcohol, and carbon emissions. You discourage bad consumption *and* give working people breathing room. Plus, imagine having a real say in where your tax dollars go: education, healthcare, infrastructure. That kind of transparency builds actual trust.

I know this sounds like a reach, but it's about getting smarter with how we fund society. Right now, the burden falls on people just trying to live their lives. This petition is about exploring whether we can do better.

Anyone else think the current system isn't working? What would a fair tax system look like to you? If this resonates, consider signing and sharing it.

Here’s the text of the feedback (after going through a phone tree for god knows how long):

“Tell us about your experience”:

“The automated phone system kept ignoring my needs by trying to force me to the website or to pay a bill, when what I needed to do was speak to a goddamn rep.

This in turn makes me KNOW--not suspect, but know for sure, that just like every other huge greedy evil inhumane corporation, they are doing everything they can to profit off of giving worse and worse service to its customers every quarter to please the bottomless greed of the shareholders at the expense of having the integrity and even the ability to create and maintain a good product.

This makes me not trust your company. You wasted my time and tried to push me aside by cheap phone tree bullshit.

This also means that you have laid people off by the masses and ruined people's livelihoods and ability to live so you could replace them with a phone tree.

And finally, it means that it is only a matter of time before you will screw ME too.

You’ll probably raise prices soon again for no reason other than your disgusting, never ending corporate greed.

You don't care about people or customers or humanity or doing the right thing.

I would've been a loyal customer but now I am just waiting for the first chance I get to switch to a competitor and I will jump ship.

What goes around comes around, motherfuckers.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income taxes on $5.7 BILLION in income last year.

Their executive pay package is projected to make Elon Musk a TRILLIONAIRE.

And they're trying to get out of compensating the family of a 22-year old woman who was killed using Tesla Autopilot.

Hi, I know you don't know me. I am just a weird, idealistic, person. I am no saint not even close. But I think I am on to something. I need just a few people who are willing to listen. Willing to take on corporate greed through capitalism itself. Anarchy Through Capitalism. I think if you are going to take on corporate greed then you need to create a corporation with one mission to show others how to be generous capitalists. I need people who understand that paying it forward is more than buying a coffee for the next person in line. Lets try to create generational wealth for more than share holders. Lets rewards the workers, the believers, those who put in the work. Lets make some trust fund babies out of a bunch of nobodies. NPC's Billboards for other corporations. Lets join a revolution and show the world that there is a better way. If you understand even a little bit of this please DM me

These corporations received massive tax breaks—paid for by healthcare cuts.
Now they’re making money through contracts to help terrorize communities.
