Corporations aren't people. Seniors and veterans are.
In the United States, at the same time as corporations are deducting bloated CEO salaries on their taxes, we’re telling seniors and veterans that we can’t afford to take care of them. Right now, we are subsidizing wealthy corporations, instead of making sure veterans and seniors have food on their tables.
That’s abhorrent. Blasphemous. Contemptible. Disgraceful. Evil. Flagitious. Gross. Heinous. Ignominious. Jiggery-pokery. Knavish. Loathsome. Malicious. Nefarious. Obscene. Putrid. Quisquilious. Repugnant. Sickening. Terrible. Unacceptable. Wrong. Yucky. Zabernism.
But, there’s hope. Thanks to people like you, we can still elect strong progressives across the country, to fight back. And that’s exactly what we’re going to do.
Yesterday, I introduced a bill in the House to match Elizabeth Warren’s new bill in the Senate, closing the tax loophole that allows corporations to write off CEO salaries, and giving that money straight to veterans and Social Security recipients (a one-time payment to each person of about $580). It’s called the Seniors and Veterans Emergency Benefits Act (SAVE Benefits Act).

It’s not just that the US government is treating corporations as people. It’s that the US government is treating corporations better than people. An extra $580 won’t make a difference for wealthy corporations or CEOs. But for seniors and veterans, it means being able to put food on the table, pay the rent, or afford prescription co-payments.
Our seniors and our veterans have done so much to make this country great. The very least we can do is make sure that they can make ends meet. And if we have had the money to give wealthy corporations tax breaks, then we certainly can afford to take care of our own people.
