In this article Fadhel Kaboub sets out a path towards independence and prosperity.

Ten #MMT tips to remember on #TaxDay:
1. Federal #taxes don't fund federal spending, so let's #decouple these two important tools.
2. Taxes offset #Government spending.

— Fadhel Kaboub (@FadhelKaboub) April 16, 2019

5. Taxing excessive wealth protects #democracy from #Oligarchy and protects us from abusive market power
6. Taxing #pollution & #speculation to reduce such activities, not to "fund" #healthcare and #education.

— Fadhel Kaboub (@FadhelKaboub) April 16, 2019

9. Take a moment to #LearnMMT and to challenge your elected officials to do the right thing to fight #ClimateChange #Hunger #Homelessness #Poverty #Inequality #Unemployment #Exclusion & #Injustice.

— Fadhel Kaboub (@FadhelKaboub) April 16, 2019

10. Fight for #GreenNewDeal #JobGuarantee #M4A #C4A #Reparations & #Justice for all. It's cheaper, healthier, and better than the current system. The #StatusQuo is unaffordable.
