(45,319 posts)always been his position, not only when Obama was preaching the Sermon of God in the Mix but all the way back when Bill Clinton stuck us with DOMA, which Bernie did not vote for, Biden did, Progressive All Star Paul Wellstone voted for it. Not Bernie.
And I offer that if a person argued against the high frequency trade tax by asking 'Do you want your tax dollars paying for undocumented persons to go to school' my answer would be 'I don't do high frequency trades so I would not pay that tax, this bill would not provide college for undocumented workers but I would happily support a bill that did in fact tax me to give free education to anyone who showed up'.
I don't see that as much of a hard argument. How many people do you know, OP, who would pay lots of high frequency trading fees?
