“Today, a large part of Peru's revenues come from mining. Many big mining companies only pay income tax, but they extract minerals, they pollute the water. They don't give any form of compensation to the regions where those minerals are extracted and where they do the damage, forcing the state to help those regions. What my party Gana Peru is stating is that the mining companies will have to pay that compensation. That is called a royalty.” GivingHelpingTodayWaterPartyTaxesRoyaltyCompensationIncome TaxMining Author:Ollanta Humala

And the way the Republicans want to get it to them is tax cuts first, and then to take away help for children, the disabled, the elderly and the poor.” PeopleGivingChildrenLongEnoughHelpingPoorRichCuttingFitRepublicanTaxes Author:David Cay Johnston
“Now it is unambiguously clear that trickle-down economics does not work. But what does that mean? That means we have to structure our economic policies to make sure that we have shared prosperity.

Your economic policy has to respond to the way our economic system has been working.” GivingMeanDoneCuttingEconomicPolicyTaxesProsperityWinner Author:Joseph Stiglitz
