Dear Friend,
When Wall Street greed crashed our economy, it blew a hole in the budget. Government revenue plummeted just as demand for services increased.
And today, even as most of us continue to deal with the fallout of the economic collapse, Wall Street firms continue to be ultra profitable thanks in part to sophisticated systems they use to buy and sell huge volumes of financial securities very rapidly.
While these systems can make Wall Street gamblers rich, the excess financial speculation also distorts the market and can cause more severe fluctuations in the price of securities.
Enough is enough. We can rein in the reckless Wall Street speculation and raise hundreds of billions of dollars a year in government revenue by imposing a small tax on financial transactions.
And this week, Congressman Keith Ellison will introduce a bill called the Inclusive Prosperity Act that would do just that.
Tell your member of Congress to co-sponsor the Inclusive Prosperity Act to tax Wall Street. Copy& paste the link below into your browser and then sign the petition:
