without getting my head bashed in or being tazed to death.

2. Simply said. Why isn't this happening in the USA?
Corporations need to pay their fair share for the benefits that they receive from our system.

3. Tax dodging----
is exactly what is going on in the US, yet it is never called that. It is called tax loopholes, or tax breaks or some other nonsense.

4. Tax Dodgers
Why aren't Americans out in the streets protesting all the
companies that have offshore addresses and therefore avoiding
paying ANY taxes to the U.S. government? 
 
No TAXES, NO government contracts, NO subsidies, NO overseas
advertising subsidized by the government,
NO lobbyists can call on government officials(politicians and
the military).

We need to let our government know, that if a company wants to
make money in this country, then they have to pay their fair
share in taxes.

5. It's simple really, We the American people are so buissy working to support our family...
Thay we can't take the time off work to protest, and if we do, we may get beat, Tazed, and wind up in jail where we will sit for half a week there by getting sacked from our jobs. We care, but there is realistically little we can do. even if we do protest, the news cameras ignore us, and all that happens is we end the day tired, with no benifit from our efforts.
