Trump's greatest legacy: The GOP now represents America's workers
Republicans are turning into the party of workers and Big Tech and Big Corporations buy influence with Democrats. Article notes how the ridiculous carried interest tax break manages to survive (people on Wall St. are able to convert what is in reality bonuses into capital gains, resulting in a lower tax rate and avoiding payroll taxes).
"...Google PACs and employees gave a staggering $3.6 million to Biden. Another $4.4 million went to the Democratic National Committee and Future Forward USA, a Democrat-aligned Super-Pac. Microsoft and its employees donated $17 million to Democratic candidates. Amazon gave $8.9 million; Facebook threw in $5 million and on and on. Overall, some 85 percent – 90 percent of Big Tech donations went to Democrats.
