Personal Message	Hi, April 15. For you and me, it's the deadline for filing our tax returns. But for many of America's biggest and most well-known corporations, it's just another day at the beach. That's because while you and I pay our fair share, these multi-billion dollar corporations have set up off-shore “headquarters” in places like the Cayman Islands to dodge their tax obligations. While the rest of us struggle to do our part, and America looks for ways to fund urgent priorities -- including education, health care, modern infrastructure and middle class tax relief -- it's unacceptable that even one company exploits a loophole to skip out on paying its taxes. But it's way more than one company. In fact, only one of the ten companies listed below has NOT set up offshore accounts to avoid their taxes. Click here to find out which one: https://www.uspirg.org/action/tax-budget/tax-dodge?id4=TAFsent * AIG * American Express * Bank of America * Comcast * Coca-Cola * Dell * Exxon-Mobil * Home Depot * Pepsi * Pfizer President Obama has proposed a budget that closes the loopholes that allow corporations to set up off-shore tax havens. But lobbyists for many of these powerful interests are lining up to make sure they keep these loopholes intact. Congress is preparing to debate the president's budget right now. They need to hear from us. I used the link below to sign USPIRG's Tax Day Declaration telling Congress to support President Obama's budget and to close the loopholes that allow tax-dodging corporations to set up offshore accounts. You can do the same by clicking here: https://www.uspirg.org/action/tax-budget/tax-dodge?id4=TAFsent ************************************************************ You've been sent this email by a friend.
