This week we soaked Apple and Exxon Mobil, currently the two largest corporations in the S&P 500 by market capitalization. By doubling each company’s corporate income tax burden and taking 100% of CEO compensation, we’ve taken great strides toward funding the programs Sherrod Brown and Barack Obama know we need!

Soak the Rich: Apple
Even good hipster corporations like Apple will need to pay a “fair share” determined by capitalism-hating leftists. If Apple’s executives think the highest corporate tax rate in the developed world is enough, they’re in for a rude awakening!
