Dear Friends,<br><br>
Check your pockets right now. How much change do you have in there? Fifty cents? A dollar? <strong>No matter what the amount, you can bet it's more than many of the most profitable corporations in America paid in taxes last year.</strong><br>
<br>
It might sound crazy, but it's true. <strong>In spite of raking in record billions in profits and handing out giant bonuses to their CEOs, many of the biggest corporations in America paid ZERO in taxes.</strong> Some even managed to pull in multi-million-dollar tax REFUNDS -- and this year will be no different.<br>
<br><strong>It's time for these corporations to pay their fair share. <a href="http://action.massuniting.org/page/m/18a1d46f/151333a/5f867f54/389fc04/728388068/VEsH/" target="_blank">And this Thursday, January 26, we're going to collect.</a></strong></p>
<p align="center">

<strong>Right here in Boston, a local tax dodger posted an enormous $11.6 billion profit last year, yet somehow managed to rake in a $3.2 billion federal tax refund</strong>. The company went on to reward their CEO with a $21.4 million compensation package – another outrageous giveaway for the wealthiest 1% while the rest of us struggle to make ends meet.<br>
<br>
Corporations like these are starving our communities of vital resources, forcing job cuts, slashing services and closing schools. And every year, big businesses seem to find a new loophole that allows them to pay even less.<br>
<br><strong>If you're as fed up as we are, meet us Thursday at 1:00PM in Dewey Sqaure </strong>(across from South Station). From there, we'll march on a local tax dodger to present them with their bill for taxes and services owed. <strong><a href="http://action.massuniting.org/page/m/18a1d46f/151333a/5f867f54/389fc04/728388068/VEsF/" target="_blank">Click here to learn more and join us.</a></strong><br>
<br>
While the rest of us are preparing our annual tax returns, major corporations are doing everything they can to avoid paying their fair share. <strong>On Thursday, it's our turn to collect!</strong><br><br>
See you there,<br><br>
</p>
