Abstract:
Contrasts the benefit for lower income families with that of the wealthiest 1% under George W. Bush's tax plan. Illustrates how a one-time $500 prosperity dividend to every legal permanent resident of the United States would provide an immediate boost to the economy and promote our nation’s long term economic health.
