Hi,
Chevron, Amazon, and J.P. Morgan Chase spent the pandemic taking advantage
of consumers to bring in annual profits $20 - $30 billion higher than
before the pandemic.^1 But it didn’t stop there, as mega-corporations use
inflation as an excuse to price gouge consumers to keep their mega-profits
rolling in.
That’s why Senator Bernie Sanders just introduced the Ending Corporate
Greed Act, which would tax big corporations at a rate of 95% for all
corporate profits exceeding pre-pandemic levels.^2 We need this windfall
profits tax to hold corporations accountable, rein in corporate price
hikes, and protect consumers!

Investors and CEOs rake in cash while forcing consumers to spend more and
more just to afford the basics and pay their bills. It’s a clear case of
runaway corporate greed.
“The American people are sick and tired of being ripped-off by large
corporations that continue to make record-breaking profits by charging
outrageously high prices for gas, rent, food, and prescription drugs,”
said Senator Sanders upon introducing the legislation.^3
Congress needs to champion this piece of legislation in order to END price
gouging and STOP corporations taking advantage of consumers.
