Tell the top five tax avoiders you know what they’re up to with their lobbyists and their loopholes.

Stand together and declare that all working people deserve...
- The opportunity for a good job, affordable health care, secure retirement and quality public education.
- The freedom to advocate for yourself on the job and to join together in an employee organization or union.
- To receive their share of services for the taxes they pay.
- An economy where big corporations and the wealthy pay their fair share as well, so that working people aren't forced to shoulder the entire burden of solving our budget problems.
