Walgreens is an American success story.  Or, at least, they used to be.

In 1904, Charles Walgreen traveled from his small-town home in Dixon, Illin
ois, to Chicago and opened a pharmacy and soda fountain.

In the decades that followed, Walgreens grew with the city and the nation.
(Even if you could no longer buy a slice of pie from Myrtle Walgreen’s kitc
hen.) Today they are the largest drug retailer in America.

Walgreens should be a proud American company. But they don’t want to be.

They think they’d be better off if they were Swiss.

But they’re not moving anything.

It’s a gimmick. They call it “inversion.”

It’s a trick that companies use to skip out on their taxes by declaring the
mselves a foreign company. That leaves the burden on Americans and American
companies.

Walgreens is counting on the American people staying in the dark until it’s
too late. That’s where you come in.

We need your help to expose this scam, pressure Walgreens to do the right
thing and shut down the tax loophole that allows this to happen. Can you he
