That's a fair point. I don't think they can charge more than what it costs to run SEC, so yes, likely will need legislative action. But the SEC is charged with enforcing a number of laws. Who knows, maybe somewhere in the fine print they can do it on their own. In addition to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which created it, the SEC enforces the Securities Act of 1933, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002, and other statutes. The SEC was created by Section 4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (now codified as 15 U.S.C.§ 78d and commonly referred to as the Exchange Act or the 1934 Act). Section 31 Transaction Fees How the SEC Taxes Equities Trading
I think the SEC's budget needs congressional approval if I'm not mistaken. Basically the SEC fee (not tax) that is charged on the sale of stocks is used to fund the SEC budget and not raise money for progressive left wing causes like climate change and cancelling out student debt. As the article pointed out there are many things the SEC can do to clean up this situation and I don't believe a trading tax is the way to do it.
LOL! Yahoo Finance has the BALLS to publish any article relating to this, since they were the wallstreetbets of the 90s? Fucking inconceivable!
