In a new report, Practical Stake: Corporations, Political Spending and Democracy, released today, the Center for Political Accountability spotlights the risks that unaccountable corporate political spending poses to democracy – and thus to companies themselves, given their practical stake in a well-functioning democracy.

The "big four" firm is reeling after a former Australian tax partner who was consulting with the government on laws cracking down on corporate tax avoidance shared confidential drafts with colleagues to drum up business around the world.

PwC Australia frustrated ATO investigations with "highly ambitious if not false" legal privilege claims, another tax office official told the hearing.

I just realized it's been over a year since I deleted Facebook. And honestly I haven't really thought much of it since then..

It's such a prime example of a horrible company, doing all the things I just can't stand for.

I encurage everyone I to do the same, just get rid of that damn thing.

The fight for #liberation from the #corporateState can be lonely, many people who are not fighting this battle are so caught up in their own bubbles that they cannot fathom that things must be done.

Some people are of course directly benefitting from the corrupt system, like #militaryContractors. Then there are those people who just don't ask questions, the #UsefulIdiots.

Both are toxic for #liberators.

There's only one thing worse than being lonely, and that is having #badCompany.
