Micro Tax
A federal micro tax of .1% on the purchase of stocks, bonds, securities and currency, coupled with a federal income tax rate where the first $100,000 of income was tax-free, would raise $1.2 trillion annually as opposed to the $400 billion raised currently from taxing those making $100,000 a year or less.
