AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Taxing the .01% is the right idea. Use an asset tax of 5%. Convert Hedge Fund 20% fees to ordinary income or their fees are deferred? Then Americans will have more income for a Social Safety Net. Close tax loopholes. Add a 6% tax on Derivative trades ( every $100 bundled) Government would collect almost $1 Trillion a year and take risk out of the Market. Increase the Corporate tax rate to 28% and add more money to fund new innovations and decrease Corporate influence. Don’t stop at taxing the ultra wealthy, start reduction of Oil and Big Farm Subsidies & create good Renewable jobs. Take all Corporate influence out of Government and let’s fund new business for the 21 st Century.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Yes, we’re undergoing man made problems, War, pestilence & famine & we can’t underestimate our impact on “Mother Nature”. Our thirst for oil has increased global warming and the hurricane season is predicted to be intense this year. Be prepared. Remember, NY & NJ suffered many deaths due to flooding in basements. It’s a necessity to wean ourselves off oil for many reasons, especially, preserving humanity!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce As the War rages in Ukraine, we can’t forget we’re living with Covid & there’s no herd immunity, as originally thought. You become sick many times. The Warming of the Poles is not an invitation to more shipping lanes. That too is counterproductive. More shipping lanes closer to the Poles will increase Ocean Warming and noise pollution , both will accelerate polar warming extremes. Innovate clean Energy now, get us off our dependence on Fossil Fuels. A Global Protest at noon Friday should start the Worlds quest for Peace and an exit from Fossil Fuels. We need the War Production Act to put Renewable Energy on a War footing. Reduce Carbon Emissions and Stop Putin’s War. That’s the only way to hurt Putin! Be serious about Renewables Now!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Michigan is using Federal Pandemic money , to fund Public Health Care in underserved rural communities. They’re starting in Landing and building a new Clinic to be available by Spring. This is a good use of money Healthcare, violence and abuse reduction. Covid relief funds can build schools, infrastructure, WiFi connectivity and better disposal of waste. Use the money for “ we the People “. Every State got funds, where was it allocated in your State? Don’t let Political Gridlock prevent , cities and towns from improving their infrastructure. Sue individual Legislators for improper use of Finds. Federal Funding was meant to improve every citizens life!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce As War continues in Ukraine , the World can’t forget we have a climate crisis to deal with. As TRUMPSGOP want to increase drilling for oil, the IPCC warns we must implement steps now, to maintain a Global temperature of a 1.5 degree Celsius rise. Right now, 5.7 million People in America must leave their homes for higher ground. In Houston, those living on the Bayous are being bought out of their homes and moved to new communities. As the sea levels rise 13 million Americans will be migrating across the Country to drier safer land. Let’s assure we’ve preserved water for them to drink and live. Our World must end the War in Ukraine quickly so we can concentrate on Climate Change & Covid.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce As Unions gain ground in America, their pro Democracy stance is growing to. They got out and helped citizens register in key battleground states where TrumpsGOP threatens to overturn 2020 electoral count. Unions are gaining adherents. Starbucks Reserve in Chelsea, NYC just Unionized. NYC is open to Unions. Our unemployment rate is around 7.9% , twice the National average. Why? There is a need for IT and qualified managers, yet rewards only go to the Top Earners. It’s time to put innovators back to work!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce As Corporations pay out huge Compensation packages to their CEO’s , everyone is focusing wrongly on an Increase in employee wages? CEO salaries have jumped to $100 millions from $19 million average while the American employee can’t make ends meet. What happened to national childcare , pre school, transportation and universal connectivity? Still needed to help poor and middle Class families. They’re not the drivers of Inflation. There is a direct correlation between Corporate Greed and Inflation. When does America Target the individuals responsible for inflation & stop rewarding the Robber Barons of 2022 , ushering in the 2 nd Gilded Age?

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Managers bring value to the Corporation. Through their guidance, teams of workers excel to produce good outcomes for the company and the customer. Why then, have so many companies fired Middle Managers? Why do they discriminate against them, using ageism or gender as a reason for not hiring. Deep Water Horizon was a lack of good management. More recently patients died in UK hospital for lack of good management skills and culture. It’s time to rehire talent for all Corporations, allowing us to be prepared for the Corporate challenges on the horizon.
