Proposal # 1

An anti speculation tax.
It'll take the mickey out of market volatility and scare up some funds...there are those who say without global reach such a tax would drive speculators into foreign market with unknown consequences. My thinking is, good god-damn riddance to them, even a porous law would send a strong message to the short money shysters and possibly move capital into job-creating type investments.
Hell it's worth a shot, the mood in the country is anti-Wall Street anyway, why not extract some revenue from it?
