Subject * Close the Wal-Mart tax loophole

Customize your message Ever wonder why you pay so much in taxes? A big part of the reason is because multi-billion dollar corporations like Wal-Mart hire high-priced accountants and attorneys to dodge paying the taxes they owe. In fact, today, Tax Day, WakeUpWalMart.com is releasing new research by Citizens for Tax Justice which shows that Wal-Mart avoided paying $2.3 billion in state income taxes, cutting its payment to state governments almost in half between 1999 and 2005. It is outrageous that Wal-Mart, the #1 company on the Fortune 500 and a company with $11.3 billion in profits is not only creating tax schemes to dodge its taxes, but also shifting billions of dollars of its health care costs onto taxpayers. The truth is that our tax dollars should help fund better schools, more police on the streets, and better health care, not subsidize Wal-Mart's irresponsible behavior Please help us close the Wal-Mart tax loophole by sending an email to your state legislator today: http://www.wakeupwalmart.com/feature/taxloophole Today, all across America, thousands of WakeUpWalMart.com's grassroots supporters, are handing out the "Stop the Wal-Mart Tax" flyers at your local post offices. As taxpayers learn that we are paying higher taxes so companies like Wal-Mart don't have to, people are asking what they can do to stop the Wal-Mart tax. One of the first things you can do is email your state legislator and ask him or her to close the Wal-Mart tax loophole which has allowed Wal-Mart to avoid paying $2.3 billion in state income taxes over the last 7 years. Please email your state legislator today: http://www.wakeupwalmart.com/feature/taxloophole So, this Tax Day, please help us build our movement to change Wal-Mart and change America for the better.
