‘But working families are struggling to pay rent, put food on the table and stay alive’

EXCERPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: "It seems like companies like Facebook have kept billions of dollars in tax breaks through tactics like offshore tax evasion, but working families are struggling to pay rent, put food on the table, and stay alive. And in fact, we're constantly told that we cannot afford tuition-free public colleges, expansion of health care in the United States because we can't afford it. But the official estimates peg the national tax gap at $381 billion per year. But the former commissioner Charles Rizzotti estimates that is now closer to $600 billion.”
