? Making permanent the expanded Child Tax Credit, the elimination of the Marriage Penalty, and new tax bracket that allows people to save $350 dollars on their first level of income.
? Barring giant corporations from pretending to relocate overseas to avoid the taxes they are supposed to pay here in America .
? Ending corporate welfare and closing corporate tax loopholes that leave even more of the country's tax burden on working families.
? Making speculators pay the same rate on unearned income as people pay on earned income they get by going to work and getting a paycheck.
? Simplifying the tax code so that a family doesn't need to hire a professional to help them file their taxes.
? Enforcing the tax law so that big tax cheats pay what they are supposed to pay.
? Repealing recently passed, unneeded tax breaks for those who earn more than $200,000 a year.
Weed offers even better proposals in the area of electoral reform, including instant runoff voting, elimination of the electoral college, a duty to vote with a "none of the above" option, and public financing. He says nothing, however, about verifiable voting, the lack of which may actually decide his fate.
Assuming an honest election, Weed has a good chance ? but we all need to step up to help him. He's backed by the United Steelworkers, the National Farmers Union, and the Sierra Club. Progressive Democrats of America and Democracy for America are both pitching in. But it's not enough. The outcome of this campaign depends on which issues are talked about, and we should not let that be determined by Goode's advertisements. Al Weed needs money and volunteers. Congress needs a Democratic majority, and one composed of Democrats who, like Weed, are worthy of the name.
