Friend,

Donald Trump's tax scam will cost $2.3 trillion over the next 10
years—with the lion's share going to the top 1%.

George W. Bush's tax cuts cost over $4 trillion over the same time
frame.

And since 2001, our forever wars in the Middle East have cost nearly $6
trillion.

You wouldn't know any of that from watching CNN or Meet the Press. And
yet every time a presidential candidate supports Medicare for All or the
Green New Deal, the corporate media want to know exactly how every red
cent will be paid for.

For years, the corporate media has pushed the same narrative that
America can't possibly afford things like universal health care or the
Green New Deal. But whenever Republicans want to go to war or slash
taxes for corporations or the 1%, all those questions about "how are you
going to pay for it" somehow disappear.

It's not hard to figure out why: the CEOs and corporate bosses who run
these corporate media outlets are the exact people benefitting from all
those fat tax breaks.

That's why the nonprofit, independent journalism of Common Dreams is so
needed today. We cover the news for the 99%. But we don't have corporate
investors or billionaire advertisers—we rely on you, our readers, to
keep us going.

Will support independent, nonprofit journalism and help us with our
Winter Campaign? We're still $40,000 away from our goal.
