Just Facebook spent $80bn over ~10 years while paying less of their income in taxes than anyone reading this.

The WHO estimates $7-8 billion a year to end world hunger.

Absolutely, it's not their problem or their business.

But the 2025 tax cuts saved just Facebook ~$11bn in 2025 alone. Meaning across all US mega-corporations there are trillions of dollars not being allocated in whichever way voters want, but going to pet projects and yachts because they have more money than they can reinvest in their business or know what to do with.
