Nurses Say Lady Liberty Is Sick,
But A Wall Street Financial Speculation Tax Could Heal Her
The Statue of Liberty apparently got “sick” over what’s happening to this country’s
working class so, the nation’s nurses rushed to N.Y.C. to try and heal her. One by one, members of National Nurses United (NNU) attempted to diagnose what was making Lady Liberty ill. They concluded her malady was because of the foreclosures spawned by Wall Street’s greed, because of the broken health care system and joblessness.
But, Lady Liberty perked up when one person pointed to the Stock Exchange across
the street and said the nation needs a financial speculation tax to make Wall Street pay its fair share to heal America. The NNU used street theater as the centerpiece of its huge protest its members and supporters converged on Wall Street to demand that the same financial market speculators who plunged our economy into the recession pay to rebuild the nation. They rallied as part of a global day of action for a financial speculation tax.
