Analysis Summary
At least 88 large profitable corporations paid $0 in federal income tax for 2025 due in part to Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' and the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta collectively reported $315 billion in profits yet paid just 4.9 percent in federal corporate income taxes. Reich's specific per-company rates cannot be fully verified from public sources, but the pattern of major corporations paying single-digit effective rates while profitable is confirmed by ITEP analysis based on SEC filings. At the statutory 21% rate, these 88 companies would have paid $22.1 billion collectively instead of receiving $4.7 billion in tax rebates.

“Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%”
Cannot confirm exact 2025 average rate from search results; plausible but not independently corroborated
“This is what a rigged system looks like”
Commentary on verified facts. The underlying data is confirmed—major corporations paid dramatically lower rates than statutory 21% and received billions in tax breaks
