Nader: Avoid 'fiscal cliff' by taxing stock trades

Ralph Nader isn't nearly the first guy to suggest a financial transactions tax.  I can't really see a downside to it.  Like he said, you buy anything else in life and there's sales tax on it. Yet you can buy $100 million in stocks and there's none. Why? Because uber-rich capitalists, not wage earners, write our tax laws.
