International Day of Action: Make Wall Street Pay

By Erin Shields, NOW President’s Intern

If conservatives in Congress continue to refuse to raise taxes on millionaires and billionaires, another approach to try to restore fiscal balance to the federal government needs to be pursued. NOW and allies are supporting a new idea on how to increase revenues and perhaps begin to close the yawning gap between the very rich and everyone else. Nov. 3 launches a week of action in support of this idea, with the theme “Make Wall Street Pay!”

The Financial Transaction Tax (FTT) is a newly-proposed progressive tax to be placed on the transactions between financial institutions. When you, the consumer, purchase everyday goods, a tax is applied during the transaction (in most states). However, large financial institutions in the U.S. pay nothing when making million and billion dollar transactions. The FTT would place a 0.1 to 0.01 percent tax on these sales or transfers of stocks, bonds and other financial assets. Though the tax itself is minuscule, it would raise enormous amounts of revenue, upward of $350 billion — an excellent alternative to cutting services to low-income people, retirees and people with disabilities, which the congressional “super committee” is now considering. In addition to the increase in revenue, the FTT would create stability within the market by discouraging speculative trading (high-volume, high-speed trading, which feeds off volatility in the market).

On Nov. 3, a Financial Transaction Tax will be up for discussion at the G20 Summit. France and Germany have expressed strong support for the tax, and in September, the European Union (EU) proposed an EU-wide transaction tax. European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso is backing the proposal, which would tax stock and bond trades at 0.1 percent and derivatives at 0.01 percent. With a number of EU countries, such as Greece, in serious financial straits, and the richer EU countries having to bail out their indebted EU partners, it seems likely that the FTT will be adopted in Europe.

The idea is popular with some Democrats in Congress: Rep. Pete DeFazio of Oregon introduced the Let Wall Street Pay for the Restoration of Main Street Act (H.R. 4191); Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa has introduced the Wall Street Fair Share Act (S. 2927); Rep. Pete Stark has a more modest approach in his H.R. 755, which would impose a small tax of 0.0005 percent on currency transactions; and Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, under the 21st Century Full Employment and Training Act (H.R. 879), would trigger a similar creation tax to support a direct jobs program.

While leaders meet to address the ongoing economic crisis, consumer advocates and union allies plan to send a clear message to Congress and the White House: “Tax Wall Street!” International Week of Action: Make Wall Street Pay will kick off on Thursday, Nov. 3. Activists will rally at 11:30 am at Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C., followed by congressional lobbying on Capitol Hill at 3:00 pm.

A number of groups are supporting the Nov. 3 action, including: National Nurses United, AFL-CIO, National People’s Action, United Students Against Sweatshops, Progressive Democrats of America and Healthcare-NOW — with the list growing every day. More information (PDF).

  1. In another research, the peptide suppressed the skin’s inflammatory response to contact dermatitis.
    By being aware of those potential side effects, users could make informed decisions and take essential precautions,
    corresponding to looking for medical recommendation before starting
    KPV. This balanced strategy ensures that individuals stay aware of their health and security whereas benefiting
    from the peptide’s properties. General, KPV’s combined results on lowering irritation and dashing up tissue
    repair present a comprehensive strategy for efficient post-operative therapeutic.

    The FDA doesn’t approve this compound for
    any type of administration to people or animals.
    It is neither a drug, food, dietary complement, nor
    a beauty product. It is crucial to avoid any misbranding,
    misuse, or mislabeling of KPV. After confirmation of hPepT1 expression at mRNA and protein levels (Supplementary results, Determine 3), uptake kinetic experiments had been performed.

    This article aims to supply a complete overview of the mechanisms, advantages, and analysis
    findings related to KPV, particularly when administered orally in nanoparticles.
    KPV’s efficacy largely is dependent upon its transport throughout the cell membrane, a course
    of facilitated by the PepT1 transporter. This transporter is crucial in transferring KPV into intestinal epithelial cells, particularly important in situations like inflammatory bowel disease
    (IBD), the place PepT1 activity is up-regulated.
    In the rapidly evolving world of therapeutic peptides, sometimes the smallest molecules deliver the most powerful results.
    KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine), a tiny tripeptide derived from the body’s own anti-inflammatory mechanisms, has emerged as a
    remarkable device for addressing chronic irritation, skin problems, and gut well being challenges.

    → No scientific guidelinesAll obtainable dosing and safety information comes from
    preclinical animal studies and early experimental stories.
    There aren’t any official suggestions for duration, cycles, or human dosage.
    → Not FDA- or EMA-approvedThere are not any medical indications, accredited protocols, or human clinical tips for KPV.
    Any therapeutic use could be thought-about unregulated and
    outside standard medical apply.
    Here’s what to do in case your protocol was impacted
    by the new laws. Relevant to in vitro and in vivo (non-human) experimental models
    requiring multi-target peptide analysis. Combines four distinct peptides right into
    a single vial for comparative and synergistic analysis.
    Peptides could be fairly difficult to make use of
    effectively, as each necessitates its own particular dosing protocol and
    timing routine. Nonetheless, the world of peptides is vast, with hundreds of
    options out there.
    Furthermore its small measurement and aqueous solubility mean that it may be delivered in nebulised type to the lung where our knowledge reveals it’s capable of mediating anti-inflammatory effects in lung epithelia.
    Taken as an entire, this work means that KPV and MC3R agonists symbolize perfect candidates for the suppression of the early stages of irritation in airway epithelia.
    Along with managing intestinal irritation, the therapeutic properties of KPV Peptide have demonstrated potential in treating ulcerative colitis (UC) and other inflammatory situations within the intestine.
    By Way Of its specific targeting of affected areas, this peptide
    can help in reducing inflammation, supporting tissue repair,
    and enhancing general gut health. This operate is very useful for people
    dealing with conditions like Crohn’s illness, ulcerative colitis, and other types of
    inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
    Quite A Few studies have demonstrated BPC-157’s ability
    to accelerate the healing of assorted types of GI lesions, including
    these attributable to alcohol, anti-inflammatory medicine,
    and even physical damage. Thymosin Alpha-1 is a significant component of Thymosin Fraction 5 and is liable for restoring and modulating immune perform, notably cell-mediated immune
    operate. Current studies showed that Thymosin Alpha-1 molecule increased
    major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class-1 and Toll-like
    receptor expression as well as cytokine manufacturing, suggesting its immunoregulatory role.
    KPV can also doubtlessly support the healing of the
    mucosal lining of the intestine. In one research KPV
    was given to mice with Ulcerative Colitis, in combination with other therapeutic substances.

    These mice skilled vital enhancements in body weight, colon length, and disease symptoms.

    At Lab of RAD, we envision a world the place science
    and self-care intersect to unlock every individual’s full
    potential.
    KPV, or Lysine-Proline-Valine, is a peptide consisting of simply three amino acids.
    It is a spinoff of a naturally occurring peptide known as alpha-MSH
    (alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone),
    which plays a role in regulating various physiological processes.
    KPV is especially famous for its potential anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-modulating results,
    making it an intriguing option for supporting overall health.
    When exploring the results of KPV Peptide on stomach cancer, researchers have uncovered its
    capability to interact with epithelial cells, influencing their proliferation and differentiation processes.

    After reconstitution all liquid peptides need to
    be saved in the fridge. This article is a wonderful
