Coca Cola rakes in $10B yearly from taxpayers through farm bill trickery US Taxpayers subsidize Coca Cola $10 BILLION dollars every year
Congress has been cleverly hiding the funding in the annual “Farm bill”
“Congress subsidizes Coca Cola to the tune of about $10,000,000,000 of taxpayer money every single year — We have this scam, otherwise known as the farm bill, which really should be known as the food stamp and big corporation bill passed by congress.
The last one that we passed, the total amount was $428,000,000,000 with a b dollars and $328 billion of that $428 billion went directly to food stamp recipients to SNAP.
— The government loads $328 billion of your tax care money on the EBT cards for SNAP recipients, and they go into the stores and they buy Coca Cola products, Frito Lay products, Pepsi products.
This $10,000,000,000 is just to Coca Cola every year. Coca Cola gets between 5-20% of their annual revenue from the taxpayer dime. Ding ding ding. That right there is government waste. We could cut because if your products are so great and healthy for everybody.
Why don’t you stand on your own two feet, Coca Cola? Why don’t you just operate without taxpayer money if you’re so great? And the cherry on top is how our legislators have figured out they can play this little game and go back to their home voters and tell them how evil the farmers and ranchers are because of the farm bill and the subsidies. Meanwhile, 3/4 of it doesn’t even go to the farmers, and it goes to all their buddies in big corporations.
That’s what your government has done. Congress, men, and women come back home and have the audacity to lie to the American people about what they have done to the American people’s food supply.“
