Fair Share Tax Reform Act NOW!
The Professional Staff Congress (PSC), the union that represents the faculty and staff of CUNY, has put together this great ditty where you can automatically contact your very own representatives and ask them to pass the Fair Share Tax Reform Act of 2009 that would undo the regressive (and fucked up) tax reforms that have taken place since the mid-90's.
From the PSC's Website:
Send a letter to your State Senator and Assembly member today, urging them to support the Fair Share Tax Reform Act of 2009 (S 2021; A 5912). This tax reform legislation would raise $6 billion in revenue for New York State by increasing the marginal tax rate on adjusted family income over $250,000.Fair Share Tax Reform has broad backing from labor and community organizations -- and the general public, as demonstrated by numerous opinion polls. The PSC has taken a leading role in proposing revenue solutions to the current budget deficit. Responding to this budget deficit by cutting services like public higher education makes no sense. Investing in CUNY, and public higher education, is the best way to reinvigorate our economy and rebuild our future.
