The pain of the economic crisis we’re in has fallen mainly on poor and middle-class Americans, while billions in tax breaks, loopholes, and handouts for corporations remain untouched.
And the looming fights over the debt ceiling and the 2012 budget will only make this dynamic worse unless Congress and President Obama see a broad and vocal movement to hold corporations accountable.
CREDO is inviting you to join MoveOn, and gather outside the headquarters and local offices of corporations not paying their fair share. For instance, activists will target corporations like General Electric, which made $14.2 billion in profits last year — but paid NO federal income tax.
Attend an event near you to deliver tax bills to the biggest corporate tax dodgers and demand that our elected leaders make them pay.
We hope you’ll take action. You can find the rally closest to you by clicking here.
