Sanders and Jayapal have reintroduced a bill to tax stock transactions, and pay the tuition fees of community college for those who can't afford it.

It will also pay tuition fees for students at four-year colleges that typically serve students from minority groups. I am in favor of this, since those groups have faced a lot of prejudice, but really this ought to be extended to cover people of any racial background.

Taxing stock transactions has the benefit of damping down speculation aside from the benefit of raising more funds from people who can spare it.
