Newsmax: A proposed tax on financial transactions "has a great deal of merit" and would help Congress raise needed revenue, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday.
"I believe that the transaction tax still has a great deal of merit," Pelosi said at a news conference.
The tax would have a "really minimal impact on the transaction, but a tremendous impact on helping us meet our needs," Pelosi said.
President Obama's finance team and Nancy Pelosi are recommending a 1% transaction tax on all financial transactions.
His plan is to sneak it in after the November election to keep it under the radar.
See what Nancy has to say about this wonderful idea!
