A tax on trades. Okay, now what do you suppose the result of that will be?
Better access to higher education.
Talking myopically again. So let me explain what would happen. If you tax trades, less people will be trading. When that happens, the market slows down in growth or drops. When that happens, companies have less money to invest. When that happens, less people are working. When that happens, the economy turns negative. When that happens, people end up on social programs which cost all of us money.
No, less people will not be trading. What are they going to do? Put their money in the bank and make .05%?
Do you think those are the only investments out there? There are bonds, real estate, commodities, and that's just in this country alone.
You people won't face reality because of what the left tells you. There is a philosophy called Action/ Reaction. It's not just a philosophy, but a history of actually working. Don't believe this crap from the Socialists or Democrats that say when you take money from the rich man, he just takes his thumb and holds his pockets open for you to help yourself. That's a leftist lie. It doesn't work like that.
Who is it "actually working" that is creating the billions and billions the Fed is creating out of nothing?
People who work, that's who. When that spending boosts the economy, more people go to work. When more people are working, they buy more stuff. When that happens, you have an economy like we are experiencing today. When more people are working, more people are paying taxes.
