Flashmob Asks Bank Of America To Pay Its Taxes [VIDEO]

40 comments Flashmob Asks Bank Of America To Pay Its Taxes [VIDEO]

Need one last reason to pay your taxes today?  How about if you don’t, you might get accosted in song by a flashmob?  At least, that’s what happened to Bank of America after news got out that it paid nothing in federal income tax last year.

Here’s a list of nine other corporations that also didn’t pay their taxes.  I wonder if they’re about to be serenaded, too.

Corporations that don't pay taxes did have to pay another way: bribing politicians. (which they call "campaign contributions") I guess if I bribed my politicians enough, I wouldn't have to pay taxes either. Lot cheaper in the long run to buy politicians,

Of course they won't and as any good Repugnantcan knows ... taxes are only for the lower classes. We have been given the privilege of supporting their slimy asses.

Entertaining, yes.

Effective?
Are they now going to pay up?
Didn't think so.

Take your money out of these financial institutions. Stop spending on products from corps that don't pay. A hit to revenue is all they understand. Greed is their only motivation. You can't shame them because they have no shame.

Thsi is great! We should do this for important subjects to get attention! Now all we need is one to save the Wild Mustangs and Burros! We spend $72 Million dollars a year to slowly exterminate them! Please Flash Mob, let's put something together for the last remaining few to live! Hey, why not offer the $72 Million dollars to balance the budget! Save the Wild Mustangs and Burros and balance the budget! That is a win win situation! Thanks for the video!

Enjoyed the video clip. Doubt BofA will pay their taxes, maybe it's customers should withhold their payments to them.

Hey turn about is fair play so they say.
