4 years of Obama, US deficit cut in half

[Adam Griffin]

We need a real financial transaction tax, not the silly 0.003% that currently exists. Something like 0.25%/0.25%, forward/swap would bring in around $140 billion in revenue. Another raise in capital gains for those making over 400k/450k to 25% (actually, 28.8% when you factor in new Medicare surtax) and 20% for everyone else; another $110 billion in revenue.
