Thanks for your honesty.....

(how is that for debating like an OWS supporter?)
 
Obama, the OWS and the majority of Americans all want the same thing, a tax system that restores some of the progressiveness that has been cut away over the last 30 years. The disparity of wealth, not this great since the 1920's is not working for the middle class or our economy.

I accept that the tax system is all screwed up. Those that have the MOST are typically paying the least... And it's sick.

Now, if you're going to create a taxing scheme to get the money out of those that have it to spare, this is why if you want a tax, to make it a sales tax on investments of say, 1%. With the trillions of dollars per day moving in stocks and bonds, that would instantly add billions of dollars back to the government and would only be hitting those with a surplus of money with which to invest.

This will ALSO create a margin within investment costs that would eliminate some of the speculation and create a less favorable atmosphere for tactics like "high-frequency trades" because of the tax the benefits from market manipulation techniques like that and others.

Yes, eliminating the tax breaks for investments would help.

It's too bad that so many have been asleep for so long that they don't' really know what's going on yet... all they know is they are stuck holding the bag and they don't like the smell of what's inside.

So long as this movement does not get fully co-opted by those with vested interests in the status quo.
