Occupy Wall Street may finally have a practical focus

And it's Bill's idea* of taxing stock transactions. Finally a policy that makes sense.

*James Tobin also independently came up with the idea…and he won a Nobel Prize. Bill's idea, unlike Tobin's, however, has the additional advantage of thwarting institutions from making money on instantaneous differences in stock prices between world stock exchanges.
