Code Pink and The Nation go to the Cayman Islands to expose US tax haven. This is great!

On Thursday, December 13, over 100 Americans with CODEPINK and The Nation Magazine marched to the Ugland House, the location where some 18,000 corporations hide their tax dollars, to demand that corporations pay their fair share of taxes.

They aren't about to change. Meanwhile, Code Pink is spending money there. Even if they did change their laws, some other small island would take their place doing the same thing.

They are aiding and abetting the looting of the American people.

We don't have to tolerate it.
