Robin Hood Tax to Reduce Wall Street Greed
A tax on Wall Street speculators responsible for the worst recession since the 1930s was proposed today in Congress. Sen. Bernie Sanders cosponsored a bill that Sen. Tom Harkin introduced in the Senate. A companion measure by Rep. Peter DeFazio was filed in the House. Both the economic crisis and the deficit crisis are a direct result of the greed, recklessness, and illegal behavior on Wall Street, said Sanders. This bill will reduce gambling on Wall Street, encourage the financial sector to invest in the job-creating productive economy, and significantly reduce the deficit. At a time when we have a record-breaking national debt, the very least we can do is demand that Wall Street pay its fair share in taxes.
