Verizon made $12 billion in profits last year, but has paid $0 in taxes for two years now. However, they did spend $34 million on lobbying.
In order to avoid paying its taxes in America, Verizon launders money through its corporate partner Vodafone, a massive UK-based tax dodger which has dodged £6 billion in tax itself. In India too, Vodafone tried to avoid a further £1.6bn tax bill. However, the Indian authorities, unlike the American and British authorities, have gotten Vodafone to pay its legally required share of taxes.
If we had collected the money Verizon owed in taxes last year, $4 billion, it would more than pay for every cut being proposed by Governor Tom Corbett to Pennsylvania's State budget. That means no cuts to education, public safety, or health care would be necessary.
So we're fighting back.
Philadelphia Uncut will be taking action against a Verizon Branch on April 16, the Saturday before Tax Day. We will be meeting at the plaza outside of City Hall, adjacent to the intersection of 15th and Market street, at Noon.

Here's a handy infographic that ties specific corporate tax cheats to specific cuts that affect all of us. If these corporations paid their fair share, we could uncut these budgets.

Last year, Bank of America (along with several other top US corporations) paid $0 in federal income taxes. Cuts to health care, education & more - and attacks on collective bargaining rights - are presented as a necessary sacrifice in tough economic times. Are they?
In 2009, the federal government gave Bank of America $2.3 billion. That money alone could almost completely cover the proposed $2.5 billion cuts to the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
If Bank of America would pay their taxes, we wouldn't need to cut $100 Billion in college grants.
Join us at the BoA branch at 304 Elmira Rd at 12:30, and let these tax dodgers know it's time to pay their fair share.

Manhunt.com, an online dating website for gay and bisexual men, compiled its users’ info to create a state-by-state breakdown of the average percentage of uncircumcised men across the U.S.. Normally I wouldn’t trust any information listed in the profiles of online daters, especially when it comes to penis stats, but reporting whether you are circumcised or not seems pretty cut and dry.
States that boarder with Mexico—California, New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona—have a higher percentage of uncut men. The same is true for states with large immigrant populations, including Florida and New York. Northern, midwestern states tend to have the lowest percentage of uncircumcised men.
Check out the full state-by-state breakdown after the jump...

This video pretty much places Star Wars fans as the ultimate fans...of fan mountain. The project remakes the entire film using 15-second clips made by a number of fans, in varies in style, format, people and puppetry. The video is just a clip of what must have been an immense editing and video logging project.
"And if you watch the above clip of the escape from the Death Star, I'm pretty sure it really is the greatest thing ever (it's got my vote, and that was before the hamburger taking off from the hanger made me laugh out loud)"-Rob BrickenThis video pretty much places Star Wars fans as the ultimate fans...of fan mountain.... more
