Congress should enact a financial transaction tax

Urge the President to propose and Congress to pass a financial transaction tax.

Why is this important?

A financial transaction tax -- as the US had until 1966, and as at least 10 European countries levy -- could raise billions of dollars to help reduce the deficit, would affect only the highest-income earners, and might help to slow the speculative fever of Wall Street.
