In the 2010 tax year (paid/filed in 2011):
Bank of American made $4.1 billion in profit and paid $0.00 in taxes.
Exxon Mobile made over $30 billion in profit and paid $0.00 in taxes.
General Electric made over $5 billion in profit and paid $0.00 in taxes.
Boeing made over $2 billion in profit and paid $0.00 in taxes.
Openflows, the worker-owned cooperative I work with made $12,000 in profit and paid over $3,000 in taxes.
Something is very very wrong with this picture.
It's time we tell the richest of society and the largest, most profitable corporations to start paying their fair share. No more bullshit about balancing the budget by cutting back on critical social programs.
The reason we have no money is that we're allowing the rich and the largest corporations to steal from us!
Enough! Tax those with the money, stop the war on the working and middle classes.
Either we stand up and demand justice or we are doomed. Either we speak truth to power and demand action, or we accept our fate as a permanent underclass.
Which side are you on?
