Tax day rally on Market Street

Today is April 18th – tax day for 2011. (We hope this isn’t news to anyone.)

Around noon today people gathered in front of the Bank of America branch at NW Market Street for a tax day rally. According to the moveon.org website, which organized the gathering, “At hundreds of events from coast to coast, we’ll present tax bills to corporate tax dodgers for the billions of dollars their legions of lobbyists helped them avoid. We’ll organize a peaceful, dignified, and powerful day of action to call on corporations to pay their fair share. And we’ll demand that our elected leaders make them pay.” The site states that in 2009, Bank of America paid $0 in taxes. (Photo courtesy Lina Raymond.)
