An insane milestone for human greed. A stack of $1 trillion would circle Earth nearly 3x. If you spent $1 million every day, it would take 2,740 YEARS to run out of cash. Yet there's no money to take care of our most vulnerable and ensure a decent quality of life for working people? #taxtherich

These billionaires pay their workers so little that many of their workers need public assistance. Meanwhile, their companies just got another round of tax cuts from a bill that gutted the public assistance their workers have to rely on to get by. Trickle-down economics is a sham.
Portland companies with annual sales totaling less than $50,000 are exempt from the city’s business license tax. On Wednesday, city councilors unanimously advanced an ordinance that would raise the threshold for exemption to $75,000 in sales this year, and up to $100,000 in 2027.
Portland City Council moves toward small measure of business tax relief
City councilors took an initial step Wednesday to help the smallest of Portland businesses.
