Created by R.K. on December 23, 2012

These feasible ideas fix the deficit while not hurting the middle class!
1. Tax Wall Street: $150 billion per year. A tiny tax on stock and derivatives transactions,would discourage Wall Street speculation and they can easily afford this.
2. Tax Corporations & Stop Tax Haven Abuse: $100 billion per year. Loses approx $100 bill. a year in revenue due to offshore tax haven abuses.
3. Tax Pollution: $75 billion per year. A tax on the carbon content of fossil fuels would reduce our dependence on oil while cutting air pollution and emissions of greenhouse gases
4. End Fossil Fuel Subsidies: $12 billion per year.
5. End Military Waste: $109 billion per year. A broad spectrum of experts has found over $100 billion a year in waste that could be eliminated with no sacrifice in security.
