Dear Friends,

Check your pockets right now. How much change do you have in there? Fifty
cents? A dollar? *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.
*

It might sound crazy, but it's true. *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.* Some even managed to pull in
multi-million-dollar tax REFUNDS -- and this year will be no different.

*It's time for these corporations to pay their fair share. And this
Thursday, January 26, we're going to
collect.<http://action.massuniting.org/page/m/18a1d46f/151333a/5f867f54/389fc04/728388068/VEsH/>

*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*. 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.

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.

*If you're as fed up as we are, meet us Thursday at 1:00PM in Dewey
Sqaure *(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. *Click here to

*

While the rest of us are preparing our annual tax returns, major
corporations are doing everything they can to avoid paying their fair
share. *On Thursday, it's our turn to collect!*

See you there,

 Darrin
