The taxation proposal came from Stockman who's looking under every rock to find palatable sources of revenue the country desperately needs, even if there are also massive cuts in spending.
He's not looking to fix every problem. He's looking to raise revenue.
But I guess to you guys it's more important to go after workers, the poor, the elderly, rather than explore taxing a class of transactions that do nothing but enrich those who buy a seat at the table while taking on exactly zero risk.
