there should be a tax on every stock trade. at it should be quite a bit, dollars, maybe tens of dollars per stock, per trade.

it would kill the high-speed trading markets which in any sane world would not exist.

Rich people, obviously.

Also, how about a food crime tax?...

Assholiness. Like a universal swear jar that you owe $ to everytime you're a duck to someone. Like taxes, amount varies with how much $ you have, so you don't get to just drop a dollar a day and always be mean. Maybe one days earnings if it's on purpose and reduced if it's accidental or just lack of thoughtfulness.
