Tax Wall Street Party more than double the needed signatures to become offical party on NYC ballot!

3. They've threatened to do so before

This is the normal excuse, it is time for everyone to cut through the layers of bullshit. Wall Street has so much money invested in NYC they will never leave, skyscrapers, the NYSE, etc. They will not move away from the NYSE that is totaly lunancy.

Next, 0.5% tax is not that bad and if anyone believes that allowing Wall Street to extort the city over that tax rate (which also includes a large exemption for people who deal with buying under a couple million dollars worth of stocks) then they are crazy.

Also, the typical Wall Street banker that isn't incredibly corrupted by standard practice realizes that a tax would slow down high frequency trading which is very costly to keep up with.

Last but not least, there is already a tax and Wall Street never moved. However, despite no pressure from threats, the tax started to be refunded a couple decades ago.
