You Got Bailed Out, We Got Sold Out.” Enjoying record profits and taxpayer-funded bailouts as
the economy slowly recovers from a financial crisis, nearly two-thirds of US corporations don't
pay any income taxes, instead opting to abuse tax loopholes and offshore tax havens. M&I Bank
received $1.75 billion from the Bush Administration's TARP Bail out. According to this study
from the non-partisan Government Accountability Office, 83 of the top 100 publicly traded
corporations that operate in the US exploit corporate tax havens. Tax havens alone account for
up to $1 trillion in tax revenue lost every decade, money that could be invested in K-12 education,
colleges, public health, job creation and hundreds of other worthy public programs. Now M&I
pays their top executives tens of millions of dollars in bonuses and contributed to Gov. Scott
Walker’s campaign. It’s time for ordinary Americans to fight back and demand an end to the
corporate tax avoidance. Join US Uncut and together let's make corporate tax avoiders pay.
