Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Report: Six Banks Reaped $18 Billion Last Year from Trump Tax Cuts

HeadlineJan 17, 2020

A new Bloomberg analysis shows that six banks — JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley — avoided paying a combined total of $18 billion worth of taxes last year as a result of President Trump’s tax cuts. This is Trump speaking earlier this week.

President Donald Trump: “Mary Erdoes, JPMorgan Chase, they just announced earnings, and they were incredible. Where — where are you? They were very substantial. Will you say, 'Thank you, Mr. President,' at least? Huh? I made a lot of bankers look very good.”

The Treasury Department’s inspector general has opened an investigation into Trump’s tax breaks.
