Exist? Sure. Use? No. The wealthy use them more, and benefit from them more.
That goes straight back to my argument that truck drivers benefit more from the existence of an interstate highway system, therefore they ought to pay more gas taxes. It makes no sense to support one without the other. Besides, tons of people have access to and use the stock market. I do. There's a whole category of people called day traders who do. In fact, just about everyone out there who has a retirement account does. Do we tax them all at a higher rate? Or are you just trying to single out a particular group of people that you don't like to stick it to? If you want to charge a usage tax in the stock market for anyone and everyone who ever performs a transaction, say so. Limiting it to some group of people who may or may not use it, just because you're jealous of their wealth is ridiculous.
