...would produce 50 Billion US dollars per year.

The media says you don't have a message. That's because they don't want to hear you and hope you'll go away.

"Shared sacrifice is very concise" With the 0.05% on the poster. Get your voices behind this, then you can decide on the next steps. http://robinhoodtax.org/

Why not reduce SPENDING by 50 Billion, and let the little man and the poor save their 5% towards investing in their future?

Give the Government MORE of our money that prevents inventments form the little man?! You can see how quickly the govt. spends our dollars - they don't need more dollars, they need to stop spending so much, hoping job appear like magic.

You just introduced a MARKET BARRIER to the poor in this country that prevents them from investing regularly and obtaining a reasonable rate of return.

Personal income will never make the average person rich. To do that, you have to invest funds over time - and you just put up a big barrier that assures the little man stays at the bottom.
