More taxes on Wall Street, free education for college students and publicly funded jobs.
Green Party gubernatorial candidate Howie Hawkins stated his platform Saturday at the Rock Hill Bakehouse Cafe with how $25 billion in revenue in taxes taken from the rich, Wall Street bonuses and electronic trading would fund services like free education and jobs to mass public transit projects and a single-payer health care system.
