It seems like it has to be part of the equation but it won’t get us close to covering the gap.
Read his whole thread, but here he shows a table of what tax increases - some commonly discussed and some rather drastic - will bring in and how it relates to the shortfall.
.1% tax on financial transactions, makes that change pretty far down the list. But remove the decimal, make it 1%, suddenly it's the star player in a new tax code. It's like the Democrats can't do math, it's all so simple.
