A Tax System Stacked Against the 99 Percent
By JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ
A
Republican who had a plan for an ailing Detroit
Hazen S. Pingree was elected mayor of Detroit in 1889 on a
platform of exposing and ending corruption in city paving
contracts, sewer contracts, and the school board. During the
Depression of 1893, Pingree expanded the public welfare
programs, initiated public works for the unemployed, built
new schools, parks, and public baths. He gained national
recognition through his "potato patch plan," a systematic
use of vacant city land for gardens which would produce food
for the city's poor.
During his term as Michigan governor he supported an
eight-hour workday; a regulated income tax; and railroad
taxation.
His statue sits in Grand Circus Park. Click for more info

"Finance
capital is the collective wealth of humanity. The money
controlled by
Wall Street was not
generated by the unique brilliance, commitment to labour and
willingness to assume risk on the part of the financial
elite. It was generated by the wars in the
Congo
and
Iraq.
It comes from the mines in
Johannesburg,
the long labor of the men who worked those mines and the
equally long labor of the women that kept the homes of the
miners in the villages of the
Eastern Cape.
It comes from the dispossession, exploitation, work and
creativity of people around the world. That wealth, which
has been captured and made private, needs to be made public.
The immediate task for the young people inspired by the
occupations that have spread from
Cairo
to New York via Madrid and
Athens is to make common
cause with the rebellion of the poor."
