I support a Financial Speculation Fee on purchases or sales of stocks and other Wall Street transactions like futures, options, or credit default swaps which would be used to fund roads, bridges, schools, transit and other needed public infrastructure - putting Americans back to work with good paying jobs.
Why is this important?
Reckless Wall Street gambling cost Americans trillions in lost jobs and wealth and cost states billions in lost revenue. A Wall Street Financial Speculation Fee (FSF) would help take it back and put Wall Street to work rebuilding Main Street with revenue to create jobs and support critical public infrastructure like rebuilding crumbling bridges, schools, roads and transit systems..
