Why is Walgreens Moving to Switzerland?

This is being shared to inform you of the TAX LOOPHOLES that allow Big Corporations to escape from paying THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES!

 

American Taxpayers will subsidize CORPORATIONS because REPUBLICANS refuse to CLOSE THE CORPORATE TAX LOOPHOLES!

If you've had enough of supporting Dead Beat Corporations, your vote in November is important!

Stop voting for and supporting candidates who refuse to protect Americans!

Walgreens is an American success story. Or, at least, they used to be.

In 1904, Charles Walgreen traveled from his small-town home in Dixon, Illinois, to Chicago and opened a pharmacy and soda fountain.

In the decades that followed, Walgreens grew with the city and the nation. (Even if you could no longer buy a slice of pie from Myrtle Walgreen’s kitchen.) Today they are the largest drug retailer in America.

Walgreens should be a proud American company. But they don’t want to be. They think they’d be better off if they were Swiss. But they’re not moving anything. It’s a gimmick. They call it “inversion.”

It’s a trick that companies use to skip out on their taxes by declaring themselves a foreign company. That leaves the burden on Americans and American companies.

Walgreens is counting on the American people staying in the dark until it’s too late. That’s where you come in.

We need your help to expose this scam, pressure Walgreens to do the right thing and shut down the tax loophole that allows this to happen. Can you help with a $10 donation to support this campaign?

The Campaign For America's Future has helped turn back the tide on these sorts of scams before:

·When Wall Street backed George Bush’s effort to privatize Social Security, we mobilized and stopped them.

·When big money backed Republicans to extend their tax cuts, we fought back and won.

·When multinationals pushed Congress to fast-track a bad trade deal, we put the brakes on.

Walgreens is just one company, but many more will follow if we let them get away with it. Please make a commitment by contributing $10 or more today.
