Harkin calls for tax on financial transactions

Harkin joined Wall Street and economic experts as well as labor leaders and consumer advocates in calling for the tax.  

He and others argued a very small levy on short-term financial transactions would curb speculative trading and raise an estimated $100 billion annually.

The G20 is expected to discuss creating a transaction tax when it meets in Washington next week.
