was must about ask if that wasn’t the reason that Germany and especially France want this. France and Germany both, in their different ways, act as if the EU is their own personal private playground.

I have always advocated for a tax on stock trades as a tool to slow speculation (moving money in and out of stocks for the purpose of making a profit) and encourage investment (buying and holding).

Bubbles are caused by speculators.
