From your link:

Every bank, brokerage, or other financial account established by a person, corporation or other taxable organization will pay 0.3% on ALL funds moving IN OR OUT of that account.

I don't see how that would work. Some days the same 1 million dollars is transferrred three or four times. That's 9-12 thousand in taxes in one day. An annual tax rate of over 200%!!

If you like the Tobin tax and hidden taxes, you will love the APT.

Feige's tax scheme has been presented (several times) to the Tax Panel - and rightfully ignored in all cases.

Absolutely not. Such a plan would make the income tax seem simple, transparent, and non-intrusive by comparison.
