Do you pay taxes?

Congress voted a “Budget”, a “bailout”, a “TARP”, a “PIPP” and other bills. They gave away trillions of dollars. They don’t know who gets money, what it was for or who controls the money.

The Government promised “openness” and “full disclosure”. When asked, the Treasury and/or Congress and/or the President don’t know or refuse to give truthful or accurate information.

We do know that “favored” banks, Wall Street Institutions, Lobbyists, Politicians, Washington Law Firms, etc. got hundreds of millions and billions. Goldman Sachs got 12.9 billion.

Congress and other elected and appointed government employees, their relatives and friends and campaign contributors get (average) 20-40% of the total of every “bill” passed by Congress for expenses, “fees”, “campaign donations”, “kickbacks”, “consulting fees”, “speaking fees”, cash, lobbying fees, etc. The budget just passed was for over $3.55 trillion. (That’s a lot of money!)

Q. Where does the money come from?
A: Three sources: 1 - The American Taxpayer. 2 - Borrow from the world. 3 - Print “magic” money.

Do you pay taxes? (Estimates are that the majority of Americans no longer file returns or pay what they owe. This includes many in Congress as well as all levels of Government.)

If you pay taxes, your money goes for million dollar bonuses for AIG, Goldman Sachs, lobbyists, private jets, etc. The top executives at FNMA and Freddie Mac lost money in their retirement plans, so they got “retention bonuses” amounting to $210 million to make up for their losses.

Do you pay taxes? Did the treasury make up for your losses in your retirement plan?

Many of the top Obama appointees (including Sec. Treasury and head of IRS) didn’t pay taxes. Obama and Congress said, that’s “OK”. Many (most?) in Congress as well as political appointees have been paid by Wall Street, Goldman Sachs, Hedge Funds, Saudi Arabia, Banks, etc. They follow orders. They have been paid.

The “bailout”, “Toxic Assets” and other programs give billions to the people who gave/give money to the top Obama aides and appointees. That’s your tax dollars.

Do you pay taxes?

Congress knows about the ‘earmarks’, corruption, bribes, etc. Your taxes pay Congress.
Q: Do you know how much money each Congressman/woman spends each year? A: Billions. Do you pay taxes?

We, CACTUS, advocate boycotts, civil actions, etc. We do not advocate “illegal” actions. Many of our members advocate that the minority of Americans who still pay taxes, STOP! They claim, we must stop paying taxes in order to force congress to stop the corruption that is destroying America.

Also … The CEO of Coke’s compensation was over $28,000,000. That is more than $93,000 per day. That is more than the average American worker earns in 549 years.

Coke is helping the American People during the U.S. financial crisis, lost jobs, economic “distress” by raising prices and shrinking product size. Why is Coke raising prices? Greed!

We urge, boycott Coke.
