A tax of .0001% on the one quadrillion dollars annual securities sales (now tax exempt) would pay off the debt the first year, Further years could provide for our neglected infrastructure, educational system, keep taxpaying citizens alive rather than dying from poor health, etc. After the initial purchase offer, companies get nothing from stock sales, it is just a gambling device.
