2. NATIONAL BofA PROTEST on 3/26 (next Saturday)
http://www.usuncut.org/targets

March 26 Target: Bank of America
(Bank of America will continue to be US Uncut's main point of focus for nonviolent, creative demonstrations to maximize the public's awareness about how this tax dodger (and others) has imperiled an entire nation with its greed. If you have a story you're willing to share about how Bank of America's reckless banking schemes have affected you and your family, send them to usuncut@gmail.com.)

Despite ruining the economy with their reckless greed, Bank of America has consistently avoided any form of accountability to the American taxpayer. In fact, in 2009, Bank of America actually received a net tax benefit. Yes, last year, the federal government gave Bank of America $2.3 billion. That money alone could almost completely cover the proposed $2.5 billion cuts to the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which helps low-income families pay their heating and cooling bills and affects 34 million households. Bank of America is the largest bank and 5th largest corporation in the country, holding over $2.2 trillion in assets, and yet it pays less in taxes than the average American household, which made between $35,400 and $52,100 and had an effective tax rate of 14.2%.

We pay our taxes, why don't they?

Citizens across the country are targeting Bank of America branches and peaceably but forcefully showing them that they can't get away with such egregious tax-cheating.

Some chants for BofA actions

Bank of America, Bad for America!
Hey, hey, B of A, how many taxes did you pay? ZERO!
I pay, you pay, why doesn't B of A?!
Hey, hey, B of A, how many taxes off-shored today?!
Move your money, switch your bank!
B of A don’t want to pay, what they owe the USA.
