WORLD SAVING IDEA -- SMALL SALES TAX ON STOCKS, BONDS, ETC.

All of the world's governments need more money. Almost all of the world's people believe that speculation on the stock, bond, derivative and currency markets is dangerous.

EU President Barroso has suggested a .05% tax on the sale of stocks, bonds, derivatives, and currency. I would add a .o5% tax on futures, with an exception for commodity futures for edibles. This tax may even dampen speculation.

Most of us would never even notice this new tax. But BILLIONS of tax dollars would be collected.

Please, President Barroso, MAKE IT SO.
