[GPSCC-chat] Tax the Rich Banner

[Brian Good]

  And if you cliick to enlarge and look on the sidewalk opposite the left leg of the
"W" you'll see my 14' tall representation of the 9/11 Commission report full
of holes.  

   I think "Tax the Rich" is vulnerable to the counterargument that this would
be of little practical value.  I'd like to see a transaction tax graduated for the 
magnitude of the transactions--so that when speculators buy and sell
huge quantities of securities to profit from (possibly manufactured) blips in
the market, they face confiscatory taxes.  

   Back in July Dr. Sharat Lin gave a lecture at SJPJC challenging the myth
that speculators stabilize the markets.  As I recall he showed that speculation
actually exaggerates market blips.
