The greed of large banks and Wall Street firms have wrecked our economy, wiping out pensions and portfolios, throwing us into a recession, costing us millions of jobs, and squandering American productivity.
Yet nobody on Wall Street has paid the price for this wrongdoing. No
one has gone to jail. In fact, they remain some of the most profitable businesses in America, doling out hundreds of millions of dollars in executive bonuses. And they pay some of the lowest tax rates in the country.
A real Financial Transaction Tax would raise $350 billion per year, revenues that could be used to help our economy recover. Be a part of focusing our government on the importance of the Financial Transaction Tax to make things right in America and tax the financial industry that has caused so much pain in the United States.
