The Other 98% and US Uncut – Making Tax Dodgers Pay
March 3, 2011 | In: Events
This past Saturday, Other 98% members across the country joined forces with US Uncut to make corporate tax dodgers pay up.
We targeted Bank of America, a firm which in spite of receiving $45 Billion in tax payer bailout funds in 2008 and 2009, and billions in profits, has paid no taxes in the last two years.
Our message was simple: “We paid our taxes. Why haven’t you?” We did actions in 50 cities, shut down two branches with creative nonviolent direct action, and got covered by MSNBC, Fox News, The Nation, Yes! Magazine and The Guardian.
We are honored and psyched to be an official partner with US Uncut, and just wanted to share the good news.
Please check out USuncut.org, and get involved in this dynamic new movement.
Egypt, Wisconsin, and now, well, Everywhere. Americans coming together to fight for our rights. And this is only the beginning.
