SVB, Signature and 1st Republic were negligent and reckless in management. If #toobigtofail execs were held accountable it would deter others. When there are no consequences the bad bankers will continue misbehaving while the good bankers continue paying the price. #banklocally

Credit Unions included in this list? They paid zero Federal Income Taxes! – at Kentucky, USA
55 major companies paid $0 in federal income taxes in 2020 on $40 billion in profits. Because of President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, they now have to pay a 15% minimum tax. House Republicans want to eliminate this and let those corporations go back to paying $0.
