Tax Dodgers [GE]

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.
