From PR Watch. Play A Video Game Fighting Corporations Who Pay No Taxes. Send Tweet To Corporations Who Don't Pay Their Fair Share To Pay Up.
www.TaxEvaders.net
The website is a play on the popular 1970s arcade game Space Invaders, but with a twist. The invaders are corporations who have been paying shockingly low taxes, some even manipulating loopholes to achieve a negative tax rate. The coalition takes a closer look at the taxes paid by General Electric, Bank of America, British Petroleum (BP), JPMorgan/Chase, Citigroup, ExxonMobil, Facebook, Goldman Sachs, Google, Microsoft, Pfizer, and Wells Fargo.
There are three main sections on the website; one for entertainment, one for education, and one for action. The home page allows visitors to play a video game as a group of protestors fighting off the Tax Evaders, in order to save schools, fire stations, and other public institutions. There is also an educational section, which shows each company’s profits, their tax bill, and their refund. A third section allows visitors to “fire” on the tax evaders by sending Tweets to the corporations telling them to pay their fair share.
