[Eccl 10:2]

"A 1% or less transaction tax on investment transactions would be far better than the horrors of the current system."

---

A 1% tax each time I bought and sold a stock?? When I'm trying desparately to make 10% a year?!?!?

You'd have to structure it to exempt investment transactions. Period. Absolute DOA non-starter otherwise. Capital flow would STOP, and other countries would fly right past us economically.

If 1% or less would stop you from making an investment, perhaps that would save you a lot of losses. ;-)

Wouldn't you pay a little bit to get rid of IRS?
