Tax speculation to death. Fuck the Fascist futures market. [View all]

Do you appreciate 60% inflation to food, gasoline, heating fuels? Likely, Fuck No.

Then call on politicians to tax the speculation markets that inflate the cost of living for us.

Speculation taxes us with inflated commodities.

Kill that scam by taxing commodities futures trading, the biggest scam of free market capitalism.

Futures trading is the backbone of Fascist economic policy. It is Republicanism defined.

Democrats, end this scam. End the tax on all of us by killing the commodities trading markets.

Tax commodities trading to death.
