Some of the ideas are pretty thought provoking.
The topics covered by this issue:
*Have Wealthy Pay Fair Share, Cut Taxes for Working Families
*Cut Corporate Loopholes, Not Social Services
* Prune Economic Development Subsidies, Protect Social Investments
This is my favorite idea in the issue:
Circuit Breakers, Not Property Tax Caps: With the housing market meltdowns, we are seeing more proposals for across-the-board caps on property tax rates-- a bad idea that delivers most of the tax benefits to wealthier property owners who least need the help. Instead, a better approach are Property Tax Circuit Breakers, which limit property taxes to a percentage of a taxpayer's income, while fully taxing the property of wealthy homeowners. A new study from Connecticut emphasizes why circuit breakers, along with other reforms, are far better than a tax rate cap proposed by the governor in that state.
