All day, all week, occupy your streets!

  • A person making $45,000 a year and a person making $1 billion essentially pay the same tax rate.
  • A person making $130,000 a year and a person making $1 billion a year pay the exact same tax rate.
  • A person making $45,000 a year pays a higher tax rate than a multi-billion dollar corporation

Muldoon began this by lowering the corporate tax rate from 36% to 28%. By next year it will be down to 15%, for those that pay any at all.

Once Occupy Wall Street has a concrete set of objectives in place, the majority of Americans said they would go back to waiting for the sluggish economy to recover while blindly accepting things the way they are."
