One of the world’s biggest corporations pulled in more than $650 billion in revenue last year.


Its effective federal tax rate hovered around 7%.
Meanwhile, a grocery clerk earning about $17 an hour can easily face an effective tax burden closer to 20%.

A worker stocking shelves may hand over a larger share of their income than a company generating hundreds of billions in sales.
People call it a broken tax system.
Maybe it’s doing exactly what it was designed to do just not for ordinary Americans.
