Unfair tax rates are the topic du jour when it comes to inequality in America and protesters in Hollywood put the issue center stage on Wednesday afternoon with a march down Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard to highlight what they called FedEx's excesssively low rate.
Organized by Good Jobs LA, Service Employees International Union, the Teamsters and a smattering of Occupy LA members, the protestors took to the streets at noon with bullhorns, drums and provocative signs, traveling from the CNN building at Cahuenga Boulevard to a FedEx branch at Vine Street to deliver boxes of what they called "unpaid" tax bills.
Good Jobs LA claims that FedEx received a federal tax subsidy of more than $552 million, which could have created over 1,000 jobs.
