The team’s house band, the Occuponics, will help them sing  joyous renditions of ‘Take Me Out To The Tax Game.’

Tax Dodgers [GE]

Uploaded by on Feb 1, 2012

The Tax Dodgers are a group of street theater performers and activists that are going around to different major corporations and playing out farces around the amount of money the corporation and chief operators of those organizations make. They express in a funny but informative way how corporations make billions and pay no taxes, get government money, but still fire people while paying no taxes and giving the upper management pay raises.
