Bernie Sanders Wants to Tax Stock Trades to Pay for Free College
By David Knowles 20 hours agoBernie Sanders wants to take from the rich in order to make public college tuition-free for everyone else.On Tuesday, Sanders will hold a press conference in the nation's capital at which he will introduce a plan to use a so-called Robin Hood tax on stock transactions to fund tuition at four-year public colleges and universities.Sanders' bill sets a 50-cent tax on every "$100 of stock trades on stock sales, and lesser amounts on transactions involving bonds, derivatives, and other financial instruments," the group Robin Hood Tax on Wall Street said Monday in a press release.More from Bloomberg.com: Nigeria Plans to Split Gas From Oil Leases to Boost Output"The Robin Hood tax would also slow the growth of automated high frequency trading, which makes the stock market more dangerous," the press release stated. "A small tax would make risky HFT unprofitable, and help reduce the excess speculation on commodities like food and gas that drives up prices, which will protect the economy from computer-generated collapses and market manipulation."Sanders, who is the only candidate so far to mount a formal challenge to Democrat Hillary Clinton, argues that making college tuition-free will help America compete in the global marketplace."We live in a highly competitive global economy and, if our economy is to be strong, we need the best-educated work force in the world," the Vermont senator said in a press release on Sunday. "That will not happen if, every year, hundreds of thousands of bright young people cannot afford to go to college, and if millions more leave school deeply in debt."More from Bloomberg.com: Treasuries Rise as Coeure Says ECB Will Accelerate Bond-BuyingMore from Bloomberg.com- Beginning a Prolonged Recovery for Europe: Bateman

Bernie Sanders Wants to Tax Stock Trades to Pay for Free College
The interesting thing about this idea is he was saying many countries already do this. And I was thinking how who better to pay for the education of the masses in the U.S. than the richest traders.
If you look who made the most money since the Great Recession (some way these were the ONLY ones who have made much money) it was the stock traders (those who trade a lot). So, who better to tax to educate the masses in the U.S. just like in Europe and many other places? And what an amazingly educated country we would have then able to compete with anyone world wide (not like now).
