Did anyone see Nader on CNBC last night? He said he wants to charge a 6 or 7 percent federal sales tax on the purchase of stocks. Why, shoot, if the po' folks have to pay sales tax on the nescessities of life, why shouldn't the damn rich scum have to pay sales tax to fool around with stocks????? There is your Green Revolution for ya..... Now, a daytrader can easily buy 20 million in stock in a year. That would be 1.4 million in NaderTax. Anyone know of a daytrader making enough to pay the tax? Anyone want to write a check for 7% of your stock purchases and send it off today to Clinton???? Just tell him to waste it in the usual ways.
