W Stanach przybiera na sile ruch sprzeciwu przeciwko przerzucaniu na zwykłych ludzi kosztów kryzysu, kiedy wielkie korporacje w ogóle nie płacą, albo płacą zaniżone podatki...Tzw. US Uncut.
"Recent reporting that some of the largest U.S. corporations have paid little to nothing in federal income taxes in the past few years hasn't stopped the upside-down debate in Washington. The beltway budget battle remains focused on one blunt question: how much of a beating should be given to workers and the poor in order to bring down the deficit while leaving the corporate bottom line unscathed?
Beyond Capitol Hill, however, the scope of corporate tax-dodging during a period of devastating budget cuts has inspired the ire of thousands of Americans and given birth to a new people-powered movement to hold big business and their mouthpieces in Washington accountable for the cuts. It's called US Uncut, a campaign that has produced hundreds of direct actions targeting notorious tax cheats like Bank of America and Verizon while agitating around other major offenders like General Electric and Citigroup.
Thanks to tax breaks, creative accounting schemes, loopholes and off-shore havens, these companies are raking in billions and getting away with systematic tax-evading operations that would land ordinary people in jail".
