Allow states and municipalities to collect sales taxes (on their residents) for their purchases of stocks.  It's a revenue stream on the 'right' people, AND it would act as a damper on market volatility.

Might be a win-win.

That's not the worst idea I've heard. I'm wondering two things now: how well would it work and how much would that piss off the rich people? The second question tickles me.
