Half the politicians are always trying to raise taxes, and the other half are trying to cut them. You make a good point that adding yet another tax gives more ammo to the soak the rich crowd. No such thing as a permanently "small tax", dude! Perhaps call it a "fee" I think rather than tax transactions the regulations should encourage brokerage to allow customers to put in limit orders which go the the 10,000th place decimal, or something like that. I'm not sure having the ability to buy or sell for less than a penny limit price would help me, especially compared to eliminating the drain on returns sucked out by HF trading where nanosecond advantages matter. Can you explain how that would help long-term investors?
