Lets talk about TAXES

Imagine 40 trillion dollars.  That is what is reported that the stock, bonds, derivitives and assorted markets are worth.  A 15% percent income tax is supposed to be paid on tranactions that produce profit from these markets.  All of us pay a sales tax and income tax.   Why should not these markets pay a sales tax also?  A typical trade only cost about $15.00 dollars. Even if the trade is for tens of thousands of dollars it only cost $15.00 to do it electronically.  Why is not there a sales tax on such a trade?  I pay $11.00 a trade and I would gladly pay an extra buck to help pay for the infrastructure.  You know that 40 trillion dollar mark I mentioned earlier.  That whole infrastructure repair bill of the US to repair bridges will be paid for in no time and there will be plenty left over to balance the budget down the road.  And we can repeal all gas taxes.  All wealthy people will tell you that I am crazy.  That what I have said is not true.  That will be the first sign that I am on the mark.  I'm going to push this message on every blog I can up until the election and God willing it will be picked up.
