The 7% tax on corporate profits above $100 million is the latest in a series of ambitious policy proposals from the Massachusetts senator. It’s in line with her broader push to rein in such industries as the financial sector and technology firms . Her campaign estimates the proposal would hit roughly 1,200 firms. Those corporations would pay the tax on top of any liabil- ity under current tax rules, which, as Warren said in a Thursday blog post on her plan, is necessary because “our corporate tax code is so littered with loopholes that simply raising the regular corpo- rate tax rate alone is not enough.” Amber Danahey details some of the Dubbing her pitch “the Real Corporate Profits Tax,” Warren many of the WOW events planned for Jay Pagliuca leads off the Westfield on Weekends Volunteer Appreciation Dinner wrote: “It will make our biggest and most profitable corporations the year. Thursday night. pay more and ensure that none of them can ever make billions and pay zero taxes again.” The proposal would raise about $1 trillion of new revenue over 10 years, according to economists advising Warren’s campaign. She didn’t specify what that money would pay for. The new tax WOW Volunteers Appreciation Banquet would be imposed on corporations’ total profits in the U.S. and overseas. An appreciation banquet was held Thursday evening at the Westfield Elks Club for Westfield On Weekend volunteers. The so-called wealth tax Warren proposed in January on about The previous years successes were celebrated and plans for this years events were discussed. (Photos by Marc St.Onge) 75,000 of the nation’s highest-earning households would raise an estimated $2.75 trillion over 10 years, money that she later said would go partly toward creating a government-supported univer- sal child care program. Warren also is billing the new corporate tax as a way to boost smaller businesses and aid competition with behemoths that may currently pay lower effective tax rates, particularly following the 2017 Republican tax overhaul , which lowered the corporate rate from 35% to 21%. She specifically cited Amazon on Thursday as an example of a major corporation that has reported paying zero corporate income tax. The company pushed back on that in a state- ment. “Amazon pays all the taxes we are required to pay in the U.S. and every country where we operate,” the company said: “Corporate tax is based on profits, not revenues, and our profits remain modest given retail is a highly competitive, low-margin business and our continued heavy investment.” Other Democratic presidential candidates have offered propos- als designed to address individual income inequality, such as California Sen. Kamala Harris’ plan for a lower- and middle- income tax credit and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker’s plan to endow savings accounts for all children. Warren’s latest idea, however, is unique as a foray into new corporate taxation policy. Meanwhile, Warren reported on Wednesday that her campaign raised $6 million in the first quarter of the year, surpassing expec- tations but still lagging far behind the money raised by Harris and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders . Warren, a former Harvard University law professor, made a name for herself a decade ago with calls for greater consumer protections, which led to the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau under then-President Barack Obama.

She began by choosing healthier paints, natural-fiber rugs and organic fabrics. “Babies put everything in their mouths,” Kirschner says. So her goal is “try to protect them as much as possible from exposure to those things that can be avoid- ed.” Creating an eco-friendly nursery has gained new attention lately, since news reports have said Britain’s Prince Harry and Meghan the Duchess of Sussex plan to paint the nursery for their soon-to-be-born royal baby with all-natural, vegan paint. That’s the general approach taken by Brooke Berrios, an early childhood educa- tion teacher, when her son was born six years ago. Berrios, an instructor at the Kremen School of Education and Human Development at California State University, Fresno, was familiar with research into the impact of toxins on chil- dren’s brain development. She painted her son’s nursery with non-VOC paint (paint that doesn’t contain volatile compounds which give off gases) and bought organic cotton towels and bedding. “I always get called hippie-dippie friend,” she says. But “toxicity from the envi- ronment can have an impact.” What are the best ways to make sure your baby’s nursery is healthy, and has as little negative impact on the environment as possible? DO SOME RESEARCH Some furniture upholstered with 100% natural fibers may have insides that include formaldehyde, flame retardants or other unhealthy chemicals, Kirschner says, so find out what’s in them. High-quality natural fiber rugs can actually last longer than some synthetics. And they can be left undyed, or colored with vegetable dyes. Designer Paula Queen, founder of the children’s decor line Lil’ Pyar, suggests asking what dyes have been used on the rugs and fabrics you choose for a baby’s room. Also, ask where the items are being made and whether they will need to be shipped. Buying locally is the greenest option. BUY FOR THE LONG TERM Interior designer and HGTV host Vern Yip advises parents to choose nursery items that can be used for decades — even generations — to come. “Look at furniture that’s going into your nursery as long-term furniture, things they can use for their lifetime,” he says. “We didn’t really buy pieces, with the exception of the crib, that were intended for a nursery.” For his children’s nurseries, Yip chose dressers with a removable diaper-changing tray on top, rather than buying a dedicated changing table that his family would get rid of once the kids were out of diapers. He also suggests looking at second-hand furniture and vintage items rather than buying something newly manufactured. These designers also recommend choosing chairs or tables that could be used elsewhere in your home in the future. And light the room for the long-term: Yip points out that we often leave lights on in a nursery, so choosing long-life LED bulbs is practical on two levels. Tired, busy parents don’t have to change light bulbs as often, and LEDs waste far less energy than conventional bulbs. Opt for items constructed from sustainably grown materials or made with envi- ronmental concerns in mind.

Dear Annie: Usually active and energetic, I will be turning 80 in the spring. How I dread that birthday! Once my favorite season, spring now haunts me. A fine artist, a painter, I still have dreams of finding a house to buy -- one where I could hang my paintings and invite people in to see them. I’ve been looking for several years. I’m finding that houses are either in undesirable locations or too expensive. I never married and have rented and lived in apartments for many years. But I want to have a garden and be more involved and attend more activities. I feel younger than I am, and people have told me that I look younger. Is it too late, I wonder, to have such goals? -- Young at Heart Dear Young at Heart: Go for it and buy your first home. Why dread spring? You feel and look like a spring chicken. You may have to make some compromises when it comes to the location of the home, but at least it will be your own house.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH A partner feels more connected to you than you realize. Sometimes, this person’s coldness and comments come from vulnerability.

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Confusion could be the out- come of trying to interact and understand what others want.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHYou could go through a hassle. You probably learned a lot about the people involved.
