I am not a trader, more of a holder, but I think anything that restricts trading, acts as a brake and keeps more money out of circulation. I do not think it is either good or bad, just neutral (trading). I think taxing food is stupid and regressive. It’s not like we can stop eating. Smoking yes, eating no. Should we tax unhealthy food? I think we already do and then where do we draw the line? Time for the Libertarians to weigh in on this topic.
