GOP Spreads Corporate Tax Disinformation, America Fights Back

The Yes Men and US Uncut continue to mount actions against corporate tax dodgers around the country. This story highlights the recent hoax perpetrated by the Yes Men against GE that resulted in a story that the largest US company had decided to pay back a $3.2 billion tax credit to the Treasury. Included is a video of flash mob performance art protests against Bank of America and a CNN feature on the groups efforts to pressure large corporations to pay their fair share of taxes. The next day of action planned across the US is April 18.

Here is a link listing over 100 US cities planning actions against corporate tax dodgers tomorrow, April 18. I will be joining what I hope will be a large turnout at the main James Farley US Post Office at 5pm to support this action. It's on 32nd and 8th right across the street from MSG.

12 Banks and Oil and Coal Companies are responsible for foreclosing on millions of American and for polluting our air, water and climate at the same time that they starve the Treasury by refusing to pay taxes on record profits.
