Dozens Protest Tax Day In Colo. Springs
With chants of ?Fair Share,? more than a dozen people staged a protest in front of the Wells Fargo building in downtown Colorado Springs.
The bank is just one of the ?deadbeat dozen? that is accused of dodging taxes.
The ?Make them Pay? event was organized by political action committee MoveOn. Members held signs and delivered a ?tax bill? to the branch manager for more than $5 billion.
The group said the bank has found loopholes in the tax code to avoid paying taxes over the years.
“All corporations want us to believe that we can’t change what’s going on, that it?s just reality. Well, its not,? said Chuck Bader Jr., vice-president of AFL-CIO.
Bader wants the American people to contact congressmen, contact representatives and hold corporations accountable.
One woman fed up with power and greed of giant corporations invented her own word for the so-called freeloaders, Villainaires.
?I got a thumbs up via email from a fellow named Michael Moore. He said ?I like it. It says it all,?? said Rita.
MoveOn said Wells Fargo did not respond to the protest or give a statement.
