It's Tax Day, Make Them Pay (VIDEO)



We're all painfully aware that today is tax day. Well, it's painful for all of us except for giant corporations like Bank of America. BofA didn't pay any taxes last year, despite getting a ginormous (nearly $1 trillion) bailout from US taxpayers.

moveon.org is organizing 300 events around the country to draw attention to this inequity. Says moveon:
On Tax Day, April 18, as millions of Americans patriotically pay their taxes, we will call on corporations and millionaires to pay their fair share. At hundreds of events from coast to coast, we'll present tax bills to corporate tax dodgers for the billions of dollars their legions of lobbyists helped them avoid. We'll organize a peaceful, dignified, and powerful day of action to call on corporations to pay their fair share. And we'll demand that our elected leaders make them pay.
