Americans from all walks of life are asking the U. S. Congress to pass a Wall Street speculation tax, both to shrink the amount of speculation and to raise funds to protect the country from risky behavior. Make Wall Street responsible for itself.
Why is this important?
It is time for the U. S. Congress to pass a Wall Street speculation tax, both to shrink the amount of speculation and to raise funds to offset the downside of their risky behavior. A .03 per cent tax on all trades as proposed by Iowa Senator Harkin and Oregon Representative DeFazio would generate $350 billion in the first nine years. It is time for Wall Street to be responsible for itself and its effect on the country.
