A 0.1% tax on Wall Street trades would generate $777 billion over a decade. That's enough to end homelessness in the United States 38 times over.

Wouldn’t be worth that much. Value of the market would drop within minutes of its passing or even realistic look of passing. Total fairy tale that would needlessly hurt people if it came true.

Tax them everyday!

As if it would. It would just be used for salaries and the MIC

Theft no matter what you call it. Let them donate to the treasury or charity as they so choose

Ugh, we rolled hundreds of thousands of $$$ into & out of accounts as financial reps in NY...all without a cent of tax on the transactions, meanwhile my phone bill gets taxed. Buying pizza is taxable, but buying a million dollars in stocks or annuities is not? Corrupt system.
