Green Party on Corporations

Party Platform

Restrict flow of capital; tax currency transactions

[Congress should] prohibit U.S. corporations from avoiding or evading payment of their taxes by banking abroad or locating their charters offshore. Every day over $1 trillion dollars circles the globe in currency trade--wreaking havoc on low-economy nations--without obligation to sustainable investment. We seek to restrict the unfettered flow of capital and currency trade, and levy the Tobin tax of .05% on cross border currency transactions.

Decentralize economic institutions & empower individuals

Ten Key Values: (#5) Decentralization

Centralization of wealth and power contributes to militarization, and social & economic injustice. Therefore, we support a restructuring of social, political and economic institutions away from a system that is controlled by and mostly benefits the powerful few, to a democratic, less bureaucratic system. Decision-making should, as much as possible, remain at the individual and local level, while assuring that civil rights are protected for all citizens.
