Do you know, Mr. Vogt, how many of the largest corporations in America paid absolutely nothing in federal income tax in 2025?
Not off the top of my head, but our view is that the tax policy... Let me just tell you, Mr. Vogt, reclaiming my time, let me just tell you the number of corporations, large corporations...
that paid absolutely zero in federal tax was 88 at least that we know of, including Tesla, which paid zero on almost $5.7 billion of income, as well as Coinbase, Citigroup, CVS Health, and Palantir.
Now let me turn to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, since you're also the acting director there.
This was an agency that was established to protect consumers from financial predation, deception, fraud, and abuse from the biggest banks, biggest corporations.
And the CFPB has stepped in and really done that work under the last administration.
CFPB put real money back in consumers' pockets, returned over $21 billion to consumers who were cheated,
or scammed by big banks, giant corporations.
It ordered Wells Fargo to pay over $2 billion and Bank of America to pay $727 million to consumers who were harmed.
But you have a mission to eliminate the CFPB.
Why are you protecting big corporations instead of consumers, Mr. Vogt?
Mr. Vogt, you are asking to reduce the CFPB's workforce to just one-third of its 2025 level, which means that the department that oversees the banks and other financial companies that hold trillions of dollars in mortgage, auto, credit card, and student loan debt would drop from 500 employees to just 77, and the enforcement department—
would only have 50 workers.
What do you have to say to the millions of service members, veterans, older adults, and students that are seeing costs rise and now, because of your unprecedented rollback of consumer protection staff, have nobody at the agency that is actually policing those big corporations that are scamming consumers?
