    While Geithner saying he doesnt support transaction taxes was a good thing, and him speaking on behalf of the administration at the g20, he does not make policy.

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Not as easily but it can be traded and traded well for people who learn to trade, and it is less costly then if there is a tax on the transaction. Plus it is not bad to trade if you are not scalping a million share a day so plenty of intra day traders can trade this well.
