The time has come for Congress to work for working families and demand that large, profitable corporations make a little bit less money and pay their fair share of taxes.” During these troubling times, the working class cannot bear the brunt of this economic crisis, while corporate CEOs, wealthy shareholders, and the billionaire class make out like bandits.

Sanders. “We cannot allow big oil companies and other large, profitable corporations to continue to use the war in Ukraine, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the specter of inflation to make obscene profits by price gouging Americans at the gas pump, the grocery store, or any other sector of our economy. They are sick and tired of being ripped-off by corporations making record-breaking profits while working families are forced to pay outrageously high prices for gas, rent, food, and prescription drugs,” said Sen. “The American people are sick and tired of the unprecedented corporate greed that exists all over this country. As billionaires and corporations continue to get richer while the average person struggles to afford gas, food and utility costs - we must begin to hold those responsible to account.” Congress must do its part to check corporate greed before it completely robs people in America of their ability to live a life in pursuit of liberty, justice and happiness. Meanwhile, corporations are exploiting the pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to justify price gouging. As a result people in America, for a third year in a row, are struggling to keep up with the rising costs of living. “Unemployment may be at an all time low, but wages aren’t keeping pace. “Since the start of this pandemic, corporations have remained incredibly selfish in their business practices, squeezing their consumers who rely on them for essential goods and services including but not limited to gas, food, prescription drugs, banking and more,” said Rep. (NY-16) introduced The Ending Corporate Greed Act, led by Senator Bernie Sanders (I -VT) in the Senate, along with Senator Ed Markey (D-Mass.). New York – Today, Congressman Jamaal Bowman, Ed.D.
