Jobs for All -- Reduce Taxes for Full Employment
Increase the tax rate on Corporations and rich people by five percentage points for every point by which the unemployment rate exceeds full employment.
Why is this important?
Class warfare is destroying our country. Corporations and rich individuals ("the 1%") work hard to keep their taxes low, keep workers scared and keeping the unemployment rate high. We need to remove their incentive to destroy the middle class and give them clear financial incentives to act morally. This petition will align the financial interests of the 1% with the 99%. We want Congress to increase corporate and wealthy individuals' income tax rate with a large surtax when unemployment is high, and a reduced tax when unemployment is low. All most of them care about is their own financial situation. Under this proposal, the wealthy will work hard to reduce unemployment or suffer the consequences.
