Hey -
Somebody out there is smart enough to create a "Wall Street Weasel Clock." We've seen the clock that continuously keeps track of world population and the national debt, but how about this...???
Can someone (promptly, please) come up with a similar "clock" that tracks the amount of financial trading tax NOT being collected. Attention needs to be brought on the concept of a transactional tax on Wall Street trades. Show the country how much income can be transferred to the national treasury on these sorts of automated, high volume trades. I've heard a figure of only .03% per trade. Peanuts!
But those peanuts will add up - help our government see just how substantial, yet painlessly those nuts will add up.
Design that danged clock, and post it now.
