12. Just the stock and derivative trade tax alone

would generate a lot in revenue. Has anyone estimated how much? I'd guess it's enough to finance free health care. I don't know though.

Thanks for all your suggestions airplaneman. I agree with you that there are endless ways we can improve things. I think we need an FDR type president and an FDR type congress to go along with it!
