The wealthy must pay their fair share: Keith Ellison touts the Deal for All resolution

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, tells “Viewpoint” host Eliot Spitzer how the Deal for All Economic Fairness resolution he introduced at a press conference today outlines a plan to protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, cut defense spending, and spur job creation.

A key aspect of the resolution proposes higher taxes for the wealthiest 2 percent: “There are ample savings to be had by closing corporate loopholes and by asking the people at the top of the income scale [to] pay their fair share.”
