Bernie Sanders will use a tax on Wall Street speculators to wipe out $1.6 trillion in US student debt

A financial transaction tax is a great idea. The particulars can be changed here and there but basically it discourages insane speculation (i.e. holding assets for a fraction of a second) and makes lots of money for the government. A much better idea than railing against stock buybacks (thought those, too, could be taxed)
