• Sanity for balancing our budget
    Spending cuts are tax increases through the back door, and hurt those who can least afford them.

  • Cut Congressional pay to welfare amount until debt crisis solved
    Two years ago, the Obama Administration compromised again and again with the Republicans, but the Republicans refuse to arrive at a workable funding solution to avoid the "fiscal cliff". Republicans claim that $250,000/year is near poverty levels, yet they claim that the $8100/year that welfare recipients receive makes them wealthy.

  • Tax every religious institution!
    Our country faces a dire economic meltdown, isn't it time to ask everybody, including the currently exempt religions, to pitch in and help bring down our debt? I'm sure that would make a noticible dent in our national debt w/o compromising our security or social net. Please join me in getting Congress & the President to pass a law requiring them to pay their fair share too.

  • Gun Tax for mental health
    The senseless shooting in Newtown, CT affected every one of us deeply. This is a multilayered issue. Gun control and mental health must be addressed. Encouraging congress to impose increased taxes on guns and put that money to improved health care and early intervention can be a step in the right direction.

  • Starbucks CEO: leave the coalition to cut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security
    Starbucks’ coffee is a favorite treat for so many American workers and their families. That’s why it’s even more appalling that Starbucks’ CEO is trying, with over 100 CEOs, hedge fund managers, and bank presidents, to cut the vital services our families rely on so that they can get bigger corporate tax breaks.

  • Senate & House: VOTE!!
    The entire nation is about to experience an economic disaster that is completely avoidable. Congress needs to finally hold itself accountable and vote on President Obama's economic plan. The people have already voted, and now it is the duty of our elected representatives to step up and show us where they stand. We can take it from there.

  • Tax salon services
    Currently all salon services in the state of Washington are tax free. No sales tax, no luxury tax. Most of these services including haircare, nails, facials, massages etc. are services the well off indulge in. The state has continually used the "sin" tax to raise money by taxing beer and cigarettes (now weed too)...but, has never approched taxing the rich for their pampering in the salon. It would raise desperately needed money for the state and not effect the lower class.
