The facts are shocking: Since 1985, Wall Street bonuses have surged by 1,165% even as wages have stagnated for most Americans.

This financial transaction tax is a critical step toward making the wealthy pay their fair share and building a financial system that works for everyone, not just the 1%.
It's high time we hold giant financial institutions accountable for making record-breaking profits while millions of Americans struggle to put food on the table day to day or keep a roof over their heads month to month.
