The Artful Dodgers

Submitted by mrober@publicam... on Wed, 04/13/2011 - 15:49

Today Public Campaign released a report detailing the actions of twelve top U.S. corporations, known as corporate tax dodgers, that spent over $1 billion in political money over the past decade to help maintain their tax breaks and corporate loopholes.

“Everyone in Washington uses the buzzwords ‘shared sacrifice’ but the billion dollars in campaign contributions and lobbying expenses made by these corporate tax dodgers means that they don't sacrifice, in many cases, one thin dime,” said David Donnelly, national campaigns director for Public Campaign. “And everyday Americans without millions to spend on lobbying and campaign cash foot the bill.”

The full report can be read here.
