Important New Revenue SourceCreate a Financial Transaction Tax that would apply to the purchase and sale of derivatives, options and stocks. Dual purpose would tame the excesses and out of control computerized trading. 1/2% would raise a lot of money. A reinstated speculation tax of $2.00 for every $100 would be of benefit too.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Barbara A Boldenow

Jobs-Not-WarsAs looming cuts to the social safety net are threatened, the military budget should be brought to the calculation. A 25% cut in military funds would not adversely affect the MIC's ability to defend America, but will save over $2T over the next ten years.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mark D. Stansbery

Tax stock transfers to stabilize and protect markets.The volatility of markets hurts the little guy, who does not have instant information or trading ability and is whip-sawed by violent swings that follow rumors and insider information. A tiny tax on each transaction would tend to dampen impulsive bulk trading and stabilize markets, while providing significant funding for oversight and policing of our market system to prevent fraud, abuse, and to decrease the risk of market collapse.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Bingham

I am AGAINST the bipartisan austerity agenda. Don't cut aid to those experiencing poverty.Both major parties have admitted that they would support cuts to 'entitlements' (rich person lingo for 'programs that help those in poverty'). Millions depend on these various programs to survive. Sign this petition to stand against the bipartisan agenda of 'austerity for the poor'.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by A.S.

Target taxation to the cause of taxationFor example: The cost of fuel is much higher than what we are paying at the pump. The US government spends about $100 billion annually ($460 per individual taxpayer) just to defend the shipment of foreign oil. Americans should pay their total cost of fuel at the pump in order to make reasonable and responsible decisions related to energy and energy efficiency.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Buzzell

NO CUTS to Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. LET TAX CUTS EXPIRE for TOP 2%.Senator Feinstein, We the People request that you stand up for US by working to make sure that there are no cuts (no deals made) to Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. Let's keep our safety net strong. And to also work on keeping tax cuts for the 99%, and letting the wealthiest cuts expire. THEY can afford it. WE can't. We prefer (for now) letting all the cuts expire vs. making a 'deal' that affects our and future generations' social safety net!565 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Lola Terrell
