2. Workers' Rights starts with no austerity

I agree to free college loans among everything else here--we could also include easier immigration process for immigrants from Mexico so they can attain legal UNION jobs.

On paying for college; Corporate tax hikes would be crippling to our already disintegrating economy. What we need to tax is not profits but financial transactions between most of these large corporations that have non-bank banking and that of commercial banks partaking in flash trading (trading at millions transactions per second.) These transactions equate to about 4 Quadrillion a year going through the Chicago Exchange and Wall Street. We can get out of the deficit and fund these kinds of no interest loans via a 1% Wall Street Sales Tax!

Thanks
RG
