The man just suggested we copy this and is making it the main focus of his platform. And by copy I mean exactly the same, down to the percentage point of the tax proposed.

When Sweden began taxing financial transactions in the 1980s, bond trading fell by 85% and futures trading fell by 98%. By 1990, more than 50% of all Swedish trading moved to London. The tax was declared a failure and repealed in 1991. Recently, Sweden’s Finance Minister Anders Borg quipped “between 90%-99% of traders in bonds, equities and derivatives moved out of Stockholm to London” because of that FTT.

This is how he wants to pay for all the eliminated college debt. The guy is insane.
