Join the Nurses' Rally on Wall Street Wednesday, June 22

Nurses are carrying a message to Wall Street: on June 22and, demanding that corporations pay their fare share to heal America. Please join us.

RNs across the U.S. rallied in DC this month and introduced the Main Street Contract for the American People. The Main Street Contract ensures equal quality of life for all Americans. Now nurses are carrying that message to Wall Street.

The Main Street Contract can become a reality if we demand that Wall Street pay a fair share to heal our economy. By taxing corporate business transactions, the american people can take a huge step forward towards jobs, economic growth, opportunity, guaranteed healthcare, decent housing and retirement to maintain our country's dignity.

Attend the rally in front of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York City.

It's the wrong message ... all that power and spent like that is so disappointing. Start where it is for nurses and demand that House Bill 1929 not pass because American nurses are not getting any jobs due to outside interests.

@friscoam everyone (not only americans) HAS the right to a job, housing, retirement, health care, etc. and Wall Street has facilitated what is a major worldwide crisis the has inhuman outcomes. This is just common sense, not socialism. You do not seem to know what that is.

OK Nurses, you need to listen the hell up. When I hear the words "every American has the right to a job, housing, retirement, health care, etc ... YOU LOSE ME. No one, I REPEAT NO ONE has the "right" to ANY of these things. So take your socialist bullshit somewhere else.

i am a nurse and you do not speak for me. Corporations do not owe anyone except the IRS, their stockholders, and the owners. Health care is not a right especially when we are FAT and getting FATTER. Lazy and getting even more lazy as the days go on. Increasing taxes will make everyone suffer.

@quantumvote I agree with you, but if you don't focus on the system itself you'll never take care of the core problem. The left/right paradigm will always be there to shift thought and argument. The government itself works on a welfare reliance system as for the Corporations they work under the UCC in falling under martime law. Transnationalist corporations don't answer to the "countries" which pass laws against them. Define wealthy big difference in the wealthy entrepreneur vs multinational

[quantumvote]

Middle class values of health care, education, justice are supported by middle class taxation rate of 25 to 35%. Corporations and very wealthy pay zero to 15% and OWN our government regulators and media. CORPORATIONS AND THE WEALTHY NEED TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE! And our government needs to make them DO IT! VOTE for mainstreet, not wallstreet!

The problem itself lies in our economic system. Take the Federal Reserve for instance. We pay a group of private banks "Federal Reserve System" to print our money which is directly opposite of the Constitution. In turn we have a dollar that is backed by debt with no intrinsic value. Meaning rich and poor lose because the very dollar we work for loses purchasing power. Ron Paul is hot on this trail. Anyone interested read the "The Creature from Jekyll Island" by G Edward Griffin. Go RN's

I'm an ER/ICU RN and EMT and whole heartedly agree with this message and wish I could join youon the 22nd. I'll be with you in spirit. I have one small disagreement with the video though. It mentions to tax the rich. I know many "poor" and "rich" families whom both work hard for their money . What defines rich and poor? The tax laws are written by lobbiest for the richest Corporations which allow them to get bailed out and not pay taxes (General Electric).
