Hi all...
Taxing the wealthy and Wall Street for state budget/tax sanity is crucial and the linchpin of my progressive campaign primarying Cuomo for Dem nomination for Governor of NYS-- but there are nineteen other reasons why I'm running; see below...

Bring Back New York's Middle Class: A Twenty-Point Progressive Agenda for Main Street Not Wall Street:
[...how many more years should we have to wait for these?...none of these are really radical, are they...]
1. Re-implement stock transfer tax on Wall Street and make wealthy New Yorkers once again pay their fair share of taxes-- to fully fund our schools, hospitals, parks, libraries, towns, counties, cities, villages, EPF, DEC, etc.-- and slash property taxes-- while funding pensions, child care, university education for all as in Germany (where economy is thriving because middle class has been preserved!).
[see: http://www.ABetterChoiceforNY.org ; join dozens @ my http://www.petitiononline.com/stocktax ]
2. Enact state-level single-payer health care system in NY; save $20 billion/year (VT moving this way).
[see: http://www.SinglePayerNewYork.org ; http://www.HungerActionNYS.org ]
3. Enact ten-dollar-an-hour minimum wage to bolster middle class (to reflect real value it had in 1970).
[see: http://www.LetJusticeRoll.org ]
4. Co-determination/supervisory boards as in Germany-- at least half of all members of corporate boards of directors have to be directly elected by workers (this would incredibly bolster middle class).
[see: http://www.EuropesPromise.org ]
5. Initiate a state-owned bank as in North Dakota (as Michael Moore has recommended). http://motherjones.com/mojo/2009/03/how-nation%E2%80%99s-only-state-owned-bank-became-envy-wall-street
6. Create green jobs get solar/energy-efficiency retrofit loans NOW to homeowners and businesses.

[see: http://www.Clean-NY.org ; http://www.HealthyStuff.org ; http://www.EWG.org ]
10. Clean Money Clean Elections campaign finance reform to clean up Albany; free TV for candidates.
[see: http://citizenactionny.org/category/archive/reports/public-financing-reports ]
11. Keep accurate, transparent lever voting machines; HAVA does not mandate computerized voting.
[see: http://www.ETCNYS.org ; http://www.ElectionDefenseAlliance.org ]
12. Monthly mandatory Question Time for Governor w/state leg.'s (idea from Liz Krueger/Micah Kellner)
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2010/05/24/2010-05-24_2_pols_wanna_put_gov_on_spot.html
13. Instant runoff voting (ranked)-- allow voters to truly be able to vote their hopes instead of their fears
