The Robin Hood Tax campaigners who take to the streets
Think about it, in this the wealthiest country in the world the newest USDA data shows more than 48.9 million Americans lived in households struggling against hunger in 2012. But, despite this the House Republican Leadership’s Nutrition-Only Farm Bill just cut $40 billion dollars from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the newest term for food stamps. They also voted to defund President Obama's health care law, setting up another fiscal showdown just before the October 1st federal budget

Think about it, in this the wealthiest country in the world the newest USDA data shows more than 48.9 million Americans lived in households struggling against hunger in 2012. But, despite this the House Republican Leadership’s Nutrition-Only Farm Bill just cut $40 billion dollars from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the newest term for food stamps. They also voted to defund President Obama's health care law, setting up another fiscal showdown just before the October 1st federal budget
deadline. These draconian cuts are a renewed attack on all
safety-net and poverty-alleviation programs. They say “where’s the beef,
there’s no money”.
But we say we’re sitting on a virtual pot of gold that could
fund hunger, healthcare, and education. So we’ll head to the
streets of NY where Robin Hood and his followers say it's time to tax Wall Street to
feed Main Street with a Robin Hood Tax.
