In this pilot episode recorded last year I talk to David Hillman, who cut his campaigning teeth on the anti-Apartheid campaign before going on to work on the hugely successful effort to ban landmines and drop developing country debt. He is currently director of Stamp Out Poverty, working for a number of years on new sources of finance for development and leading UK campaigning for a Financial Transaction Tax. In 2010 he also helped create the Robin Hood Tax campaign, a network of more than 100 UK charities, trade unions, faith organisations and green groups pressing for a tax on financial transaction.

Bernie spells out the details and it is clear that it is doable, affordable and probably one of the most important changes this country could ever benefit from. Oh, and no one is talking about one of the revenue raising components of the Sanders plan. It's called the Inclusive Prosperity Act ( H.R. 1464) aka Robin Hood Tax. Check it out at robinhoodtax.org

What would you do with $300 billion? Heal the sick, feed the poor?

Nurses say yes--to The Inclusive Prosperity Act!

If you listen to the simple details you might agree – this is a very fair and doable measure. Visit robinhoodtax.org. Read more...

I swear these people never sleep—but that would be wrong because they are nurses and they know the value of a good night’s rest. That said, this week we find over a thousand of our friends, aka the “Sea of Red Scrubs,” on Capitol Hill this week at a rally to support Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison as he reintroduces the Inclusive Prosperity Act.
