Large corporations are responsible for the rise in the price of basic consumer products for families, says Sulma Arias, executive director of People’s Action, a national network of more than 30 community-based organizations in the more than 29 states in the country.

Sulma Arias comments on an article she wrote called Why does food cost so much?

There she points out that these large corporations are the same ones that blame, just like the Republicans, the Biden administration for the shortage, but she claims that these large corporations received support from the Republican Trump administration, and with their practices have exacerbated the situation since the pandemic by using their power to raise prices and reduce competition.

Sulma Arias , says how large corporations use their power to raise prices and reduce competition.

In addition, Sulma Arias, executive director of the organization People’s Action, states that, during Donald Trump’s administration, these large corporations received tax cuts and paid less because of the support they received from the former Republican president.

She emphasizes that there is real information and it can be seen that in the last 4 years the big companies have had historic profits.

The director of the national network of more than 30 community-based organizations in more than 29 states in the country, clarifies that there is a discourse from the Republican Party to distract and misinform about reality and distract with accusations in the campaign.

And he recommends us what to do in order not to be fooled by distracting messages.

Sulma Arias, says that the Democratic administration that wins the election will cut these supports to large corporations, although not totally, but they will reduce the benefits of which the population does not see an impact.

Therefore, she asks that people participate as she did to defend her family and the families of the community and vote for someone who can look out for the needs of the community and for democracy.
