Welcome to Part 2 of our “Why We Pay Sales Tax” series!

Today, we’re breaking it down with an analogy you won’t forget: imagine ordering a salad and water at your friend’s birthday dinner while everyone else gets lobster and steak, and then they expect you to cover the bill. That’s what sales tax feels like for everyday Americans.

In this video, we unpack:

• How big corporations like Walmart underpay their workers

• How that leads to increased public assistance paid for with your tax dollars

• Why corporations aren’t covering their fair share (hint: loopholes, lobbying, and write-offs)

• How government subsidies funnel free money to billionaires while raising sales tax on you

• And why many states hit you with both income tax and high sales tax

We also highlight how the People’s Plan for America would reverse this trend by closing corporate loopholes, ending unnecessary subsidies, and easing the burden on working people. While making the rich pay what they actually owe.

This isn’t just economic education. It’s a wake-up call.
