re: #249 freetoken

Bernie keeps saying that he wants to pay for his school plan by taxing “Wall Street speculation”. I’m not sure what he means by that, but the problem here is with all sin taxes: What happens when the sinners stop sinning?

To continue the funding flow from Wall Street speculation, isn’t Bernie saying that said Wall Street speculation has to continue?

Maybe he’s talking about the transaction tax that has been proposed, something like a half a percent on each transaction, which would slow down a lot of speculative trading.
