Awww a little pulverized stale crumb!
Of which will be used to berate anyone wanting to go further for the next at least 16 years as
we already did something kiddo!
We could have had this. We still can, rather than blowing a trillion and a half a year on being the world's largest terrorist. Heck it wouldn't even interrupt us being a blood thirsty crime against humanity. It would have been "pragmatic" and the goons making stock trades would barely have noticed a blip. I do some trading and would not miss these costs as they are lower than a daily normal fluctuation.
Tax Wall Street Gambling to Cancel All Student Debt and Pay for College for All We can guarantee higher education as a right for all and cancel all student debt for an estimated $2.2 trillion. To pay for this, we will impose a tax of a fraction of a percent on Wall Street speculators who nearly destroyed the economy a decade ago. This Wall Street speculation tax will raise $2.4 trillion over the next ten years. It works by placing a 0.5 percent tax on stock trades – 50 cents on every $100 of stock – a 0.1 percent fee on bond trades, and a 0.005 percent fee on derivative trades.
