Friends of the Earth: Robin Hood Tax Legislation Introduced, Could Generate Billions of Dollars to Fight Climate Change

WASHINGTON, D.C. –(ENEWSPF)—March 19, 2015. Today Congressman Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) re-introduced the Inclusive Prosperity Act, legislation that would establish a Robin Hood Tax — also known as a Wall Street Tax — by placing a miniscule fee on financial transactions. The tax would generate hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue annually for critical needs such as healthcare, education, job creation and the international fight against HIV/AIDS and climate change.
