Tell Your Members of Congress – A Wall Street Speculation Tax Makes Sense

Support for a Wall Street Speculation Tax has been  spreading across the nation with more grassroots groups calling for a tax on reckless Wall Street speculation than ever before.

To move forward on winning this policy change, we need members of Congress to step up and support Wall Street speculation taxes.

When we buy everyday items from a candy bar to a new car, we have to pay a sales tax. Yet Wall Street traders buy and sell billions of dollars of securities thousands of times a day without paying a cent.  It’s past time for Wall Street to start paying its fair share.

Write your Senators and Representatives and ask them to support a Wall Street Speculation tax.  Urge them to co-sponsor the legislation sponsored by Rep. DeFazio (H.R. 3313) and Sen. Harkin (S. 1787).
