1. Does anybody have an estimate of the daily value in dollars of stock,
bond and other financial transactions, excluding new issues, in the United
States. This would include the various stock market, futures, bond
markets, etc. I am trying to estimate the tax revenue from a 1% tax on
these transactions, somewhat analogous to Tobin's idea of a tax on
foreign currency transactions.
Are there any objections from the left to this type of tax? I realize to
get it passed would be very difficult and would be directly going up
against capital?
2. Does someone have the address, telephone number, e-mail and Web site for
the Citizens for Tax Justice in D.C.? Please send it to me!
Thanks, Peter Bohmer
