Bond Trading Flat

Why don’t we place a transaction tax on sales and trades of stocks and bonds?

The American stock exchange is the most stable and secure in the world (for the time being). Every weekday, hundreds of billions are exchanged without any sort of tax on the transactions. We pay sales and use tax when we buy other capital assets (then subject to capital gains or losses upon sale) but Wall Street is treated as a sacred cow. A transaction tax would serve to further stablize the markets since no one would be inclined to invest in short-term strategies. I believe a transaction tax needs to be studied and considered as a way of allowing our income tax code to be made much simpler than it is today. The so-called Flat Tax and Fair Tax (National sales tax) would only shift most of the tax burden to the poor. I mean do you really want to pay 10 or 20 percent of profit to the government when you sell your home?

the FAIR TAX PLAN does not shift the tax burden on the poor.
it is a consumption tax, so the rich, who usually consume more, would be taxed more. also, there is a stipulation that everyone would get a prebate check covering taxes up to the poverty level — so if a poor person buys their necessities only, they pay NO TAXES AT ALL. this program would stimulate our economy!
