CEOs Reaping the Rewards of Tax Cheating
Some 25 major U.S. corporations are paying their CEO’s more money then they give to Uncle Sam. That is according to a new report by the Institute for Policy Studies that is making the rounds in the news cycle today.
According to the study, while the economy lingers, corporate outlays for CEO compensation have rebounded to nearly pre-recessionary levels. Furthermore, the ratio between the average worker salary and CEO has risen from 263-1 in 2009 to 325-1 just last year.
When will the corporations and the corporate-politicians get it? American people are waking up and we’re beginning to notice. It’s only a matter of time before this all spills over into the streets. You can make that happen!

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.
