on Tuesday, January 24, 2023Meaning of Chris Hedges Money Quote: saying Corporate goals are purely focused on gain and plunder at expense of people. Chris Hedges said:
“We have to grasp, as Marx and Adam Smith did, that corporations are not concerned with the common good. They exploit, pollute, impoverish, repress, kill, and lie to make money. They throw poor people out of homes, let the uninsured die, wage useless wars for profit, poison and pollute the ecosystem, slash social assistance programs, gut public education, trash the global economy, plunder the U.S. Treasury and crush all popular movements that seek justice for working men and women. They worship money and power” — Chris Hedges

Joe Biden is talking about large, profitable corporations in the United States that pay little to no taxes each year. He says that there are 55 corporations that make $40 billion or more annually but pay “not a cent” in taxes. Biden acknowledges that he supports capitalism and does not have a problem with people becoming millionaires or billionaires through their businesses.
However, he believes these very large, profitable corporations should still pay their “fair share” in taxes and “chip in a little bit” to support public services and infrastructure that help enable their business success. Overall, the quote expresses Biden’s view that extremely profitable corporations should contribute more in taxes rather than avoiding them entirely.
