Groups call on Washington to tax financial speculation

The group says the levy will curb excessive speculation by larger banks without harming long-term gains for investors. 

They also contend a small tax could raise at least $100 billion a year. 

The G20 is looking at the creation a financial speculation tax, but specifics on the proposal are unclear. The G20 is scheduled to meet in Washington later this month and could discuss the tax.
