Polls: Most Americans Blame Corporate Greed for Inflation
Recent polling shows corporations are facing a highly skeptical public over their claims they’ve had no choice but to raise consumer prices so high as profits have skyrocketed.
Recent polling shows corporations are facing a highly skeptical public over their claims they’ve had no choice but to raise consumer prices so high as profits have skyrocketed.
Government watchdog Accountable.US released a new analysis of earnings data of the top ten U.S. apparel companies by market capitalization finding that they all raised consumer prices while collectively reporting at least $12.9 billion in increased profits during their most recent fiscal years for a total of $13.6 billion.
Using Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, CNBC reported how working families will see price increases on common grocery items from Campbells, Tyson Foods, Mondelez, and Starbucks — all companies that have seen their profits soar.
Today, Accountable.US issued a correction noting that twenty-five top oil and gas companies saw a staggering $237 billion in record profits in 2021 and not the $205 billion the government watchdog previously reported on March 15.
