I read where the average hold on a stock is about 22 seconds due the automatic electronic trades. Can you imagine the taxes that could be obtained with the added benefit of correcting the market. It might have a positive appeal to the average person knowing they are not being had by a super computer.

Legally, how can this be corrected? I can’t imagine Roosevelt or Truman sitting back and allowing this crap to continue

Question. When President Bush 43 changed our tax structure through his bills, did he submit them as “a proposal?”

Yes, indeed, Griff, tax all transactions until our debt is reduced. I fear President Obama be a tad weak in his proposals.

We must realize that unless he wins in 2016, we will be under the control of the Perry Religious Right.
