24,000 Reasons to Join US Uncut
By Uncutter JW
24,000 pages in GE’s tax return (from its 975-strong tax department)
24,000 tax filers with incomes from $533,000 to $2.2 million who paid no Federal income taxes
24,000 in binary is 101110111000000
24,000 is _X_XM_V in Roman Numerals
24,000 is $12 /hr before federal income taxes, which will be about $1,600 or $1,600 more than GE paid in taxes in 2011
24,000 owed in property taxes by Cook County, IL Commissioner John Fritchey. When asked why he hadn’t payed them, he cited a recent divorce and advice from his wife’s lawyer
24,000 Pentagon computer files lost in a March cyber attack on a defense contractor. To save money on taxes, contractors are increasingly going offshore.
24,000 HSBC accounts whose data was stolen by a disgruntled employee last year. Now, even offshore Swiss accounts may not be safe…
24,000 Sarah Palin emails released this year after a Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request. They recount a story of a Palin administration fighting to try to keep an oil profits tax, which accounts for 90% of Alaska state revenue.
24,000 pounds a British couple can save on inheritence taxes through a gift loophole to their children. That is, if you have £6,000 each year for a “child’s stakeholder pension.”
24,000 tons of soil staying out of Iowa streams, lakes and rivers thanks to taxpayer-funded efforts of the Iowa DNR.
24,000 people die prematurely each year because of pollution from coal power plants, subsidized by federal coal tax credits.
24,000 US Uncutters taking direct action against corporate tax cheats and unnecessary and unfair public service cuts across the U.S.
US Uncut is a grassroots movement taking direct action against corporate tax cheats and unnecessary and unfair public service cuts across the U.S. Washington’s proposed budget for the coming year sends a clear message: The wrath of budget cuts will fall upon the shoulders of hard-working Americans. That’s unacceptable.
