The worst option for helping Social Security is cutting benefits . Raising the individual ceiling and a Robinhood tax are great but an added option is to allow voluntary early outers who accept a lower benefit to do so without an added 50% penalty for continuing to work and continue paying into the system.Ending the penalty would make the option more favored and save SS much money at the lower benefit level..

The NC Legislature is about to pass laws that require drug tests for public assistance recipients. This is unconstitutional and will cost the state too much. If these laws pass, all public officials should be required to submit to annual random drug tests as well.

Where is the progressive voice on the illegal detentions in Guantanamo? People are still being detained without trial for over 10 years--and some who have been cleared of wrong-doing are still in detention. I am personally ashamed that my country is perpetrating this injustice.

The Harvard University Security, Parking and Museum Guards Union represents the lowest paid workforce at Harvard. We are in a protracted struggle to bring our wages and benefits up to the same standards that Harvard pays to the other trade unions and their contract security guards.

Congress jumped into action last week to protect air travelers – such as themselves – from long airport delays caused by sequestration cuts, but they’ve shown no sympathy for the millions of Americans without a frequent flyer card. Air travel and ending the furloughs at the FAA are important, but the haphazard sequestration cuts are hitting the middle class and our most vulnerable the hardest: with seniors denied access to Meals on Wheels, cancer patients denied treatment, low-income children being kicked out of Head Start, and cuts to unemployment insurance for the millions of Americans unable to find work. It's outrageous. No more balancing the budget on the backs of working families. No more paying for tax giveaways that benefit corporations and the super-wealthy with cuts to vital programs. Tell Congress to fix the sequester cuts for all Americans.

Corporations like Amazon aren't required to pay sales tax while Main Street [Mom and Pop] retailers still do. As usual, the big boys get to play by different rules; and the little people lose on this uneven playing field. We need this sales tax revenue in our states, counties and cities!
