TAX EVADERS: The Video Game launches today! (Blast your favorite corporate villain!)

[gan golan]

Hello Friends,

Today, just in time for Tax Day, we are launching a new video game that let's you blast corporate Tax Evaders!

You can play the game here.

Why? Because some of the largest, most powerful corporations actually pay less  taxes than you or I. They aren't just avoiding paying their fair share and leaving the rest of us to pick up the tab, their tax dodging schemes are are forcing us to make serious cuts to social security, health care, housing, education and all the basic services that keep our society running.  

That hurts real people. 

The launch of the game coincides with a series of 'illuminated' actions taking place across the country between now and April 15th, where, Light Brigades will be taking the message to the streets and to the very doorstep of these corporations, while mobile Guerilla Projection Teams  will be projecting the game in public space for people to play outdoors and on the streets. 

But this is no ordinary video game. 

Not only does it illustrate how "people power" can make the corporations pay, it actually allows you to blast these tax dodging corporations for reals using a "twitter bomb" feature. 

Plus you can learn more about the evaders like GE, Exxon, Verizon, Goldman Sachs, Boeing, Google, Pfizer and Microsoft, while designing your own action. You can even follow the actions across the country here. 

Shockingly, the debate in Congress today is about cutting Social Security. The real question is why are we even discussing these cuts before going after the hundreds of billions that corporate Tax Evaders steal from our budget every year? A recent report reveals that we are losing nearly $100 Billion every year from corporate tax dodging. 

We need to stop closing hospitals and schools, and start closing corporate loopholes!

Blast the corporate Tax Evaders!

Dear Gan and friends:

AMAZING job! I have no doubt this will go viral- everyone needs a little light hearted distraction from the hours spent finishing 2012 taxes...which the corporations don't have to pay. 

Nice job and see you soon on the streets,

Noah
