Economics & Trade

I would measure economic growth by seeing, how much food are people eating, how much clean water do they have in their rivers and their wells, how much clothing do they have access to, how much education and health services are they provided as public systems?

-Vandana Shiva

Press the politicians
to support:
  • Progressive tax policies that create fairness for low-income and middle class communities, including a repeal of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy and an increase in earned income tax credits for the poor.
  • Reducing the federal debt while adequately funding non-military domestic programs.
  • Ending corporate welfare, closing corporate tax loopholes, increasing the number of IRS auditors focused on corporations, and eliminating offshore tax shelters.
  • A federal micro tax of .1% on the purchase of stocks, bonds, securities & currency, coupled with a federal income tax rate where the first $100,000 of income was tax-free.
  • Substantial taxation increases on large corporations and the richest 1% of Americans (with yearly incomes averaging $1.3 million) to pay for universal health care, subsidized childcare, & free tuition for public colleges and universities.
