Economic Justice
The Indiana Green Party recognizes that in our society money equals power, and those with money will generally use their power to further increase their wealth at the expense of the public good. We seek a more equitable balance of power, and pursue the following goals to work toward greater economic justice.
1. A steeply progressive state income tax should be established. Those living under poverty level should pay no income tax at all.
2. A living wage should be required of all employers, starting with the State of Indiana itself, so that Indiana families can afford basic necessities such as food, clothing, shelter, and health care.
3. Labor’s right to organize and engage in collective bargaining must be supported and strengthened. These and other labor rights must be extended to migrant and temporary workers.
4. IGP opposes CAFTA (Central American Free Trade Agreement).
