Tell Your Elected Rep. to Tax Wall Street via Robin Hood Tax

http://www.nationalnursesunited.org/page/speakout/tax-wall-street

This tax on the financial sector has the power to raise hundreds of billions every year to provide funding for jobs to kickstart the economy and get America back on its feet. It could help save the social safety net in the US and around the world.

The result would be hundreds of billions of dollars annually in government revenue to support education, global health care, ending HIV/AIDS globally, addressing climate change, and providing economic stimulus to get more Americans back to work.

Call your Representative and urge him or her to support HR 1579

The Inculsive Prosperity Act, HR 1579, is a small tax on Wall Street transactions that would result in hundreds of billions of dollars annually in revenue to support education, global health care, ending HIV/AIDS globally, addressing climate change, and providing economic stimulus to get more Americans back to work.
