HIGH NOON!
LET THE NOT SO SILENT SPRING BEGIN!
In an ongoing effort to offer alternatives to the draconian budget cuts being rammed down our throats by our federal, state and local elected officials. UticaUnCut is proposing that corpoRATe tax dodgers be required to pay their fair share of taxes! We are tired of corpoRATe bail outs and DEMAND a corpoRATe BAIL IN!
Why have a Bail In at the New York State Office Building?
It's a sad state of affairs, but the truth is our state government has been aiding and abetting the corpoRATe tax dodgers! One such ongoing state sponsored larceny involves the state "collecting" a stock transfer tax from the wall street banksters, but then "instantly rebating" the tax right back to the banksters! The stock transfer tax generated about $16 billion last year, and if our state government had merely kept that money. It would have more then eliminated the $10 billion state deficit! In fact, there would have been about $6 billion in additional walking around money for the state to use on things like additional aid for SUNY students and extra aid to cities and counties so they wouldn't need to raise property taxes!
UticaUnCut DEMANDS that the feckless appaRATchiks in albany BAIL IN the thieving wall street banksters by refusing to rebate the stock transfer tax any longer. By doing so, we can prevent tens of thousands of layoffs and large government service cutbacks! Read a letter concerning the stock transfer tax from Ralph Nader to our new governor here:
