For 30 years, corporate CEOs and Wall Street speculators have put the squeeze on workers with globalization, privatization and union-busting. 

They used their rising profits to buy Congress, convincing them to hand out tax breaks to the rich and gut banking regulations and consumer protections.  Then they invented unscrupulous mortgage and investing practices, turning our financial system into a casino.  When their speculation didn't pay off, they got Congress to bail them out to the tune of $15,000 for every household in America.

A tax on the speculators of the Wall Street casino could put 3 million people to work fixing our infrastructure, teaching our children, making our factories more sustainable and improving our public services.

TAKE ACTION TO MAKE THEM PAY.
