Tax
Day 2014
We
pay our taxes.
Are
we getting what we need?
The way we
raise and spend our taxes tells us a lot about what our country has become.
Why
do working people pay their taxes, while the rich and corporations get huge tax
breaks?
Why
are we cutting medical research, Head Start, housing, food stamps and
unemployment insurance -- while we spend more on the Pentagon than the next 10
countries combined?
Why
is there no national jobs program -- when there are still more than 10 million
unemployed and our state plans to spend $2 billion on new prisons?
Why
can energy companies pollute the atmosphere and destroy the climate, but there
is no price for emitting carbon?
We
need a Budget for
All!
Stop the Cuts – Invest in Jobs – Tax the 1% – Bring the
Troops Home – Reduce Military Spending

This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager
