If you paid $14 a month for the Netflix standard plan, you paid more than Netflix paid in federal income taxes a year after Trump's tax plan became law - while making an $845 million profit and giving its CEO a $302 million compensation package. End oligarchy. #TaxTheRich

Here's how rigged the tax code is: If you make less than $25,000 a year you are 9 times more likely to be audited by the IRS than a CEO who makes $30 million. Meanwhile, the top 1% is responsible for 70% of the $381 billion in taxes that go unpaid each year. #TaxTheRich
