Previously, we wrote about UK Uncut using ‘Bail-ins’ to shame corporate tax dodgers that don’t pay their dues to the societies they benefit from. It’s a fun, vibrant civil — or perhaps, even, economic — disobedience movement that vividly illustrates a powerful principle: in order for a liberal democracy to function smoothly, everyone has to pay their dues.

And now, that movement is coming to the US, with much the same message. This time, it’s directed at our own corporate tax dodgers — corporations who, despite having helped caused the financial meltdown and receiving billions of dollars of taxpayer aid, still don’t see fit to pay taxes to the federal government.

So, US Uncut organized an action targeting Bank of America to call attention to its mission. Via Disinformation: “At Bank of America’s first Investor Conference in three years (3/8/11), organizers from US Uncut crashed the event to protest corporate tax dodgers and public service cuts. The room was packed with 300 hedge fund managers, institutional investors, & asset managers.”

Watch what happens:

And here’s the statement from US Uncut:

When corporations like Bank of America don’t pay their fair share of taxes, we have to ‘cut’ teachers, firefighters, and public servants. Do you pay your taxes? So do we. Why don’t corporations pay their fair share, just like everyone else? Bank of America is Bad for America. Bank of America pockets Billions in profits and bailouts, but $0 in American taxes — that’s immoral and un-American.
