Tell your legislators: support progressive tax reform!We're finally turning the tables on investment bankers and Wall Street fat cats. State representative Laurie Jinkins has introduced a bill that would creat a 5 percent tax on profits of more than $10,000 from the sale of stocks and second houses.

This is our best chance this year to reform our tax system this year.
