One of the strengths of Bernie's plan on taxes is that he specifically wants to tax the speculation going on on Wall Street.

Capital gains taxation is a big issue. Bernie is pretty clear on wanting to raise taxes on that kind of income. What is Hillary's stance on that?

What is her stance on taxing trades on Wall Street and other markets?

I think that the trades need to be taxed.
