WHAT ARE TOBIN TAXES?
http://disc.server.com/discussion.cgi?id=149495&article=5402

Tobin Taxes are excise taxes on cross-border currency transactions. They
can be enacted by national legislatures, followed by multilateral
cooperation for effective enforcement. The revenue should go to global
priorities: basic environmental and human needs. Such taxes will help tame
currency market volatility and restore national economic sovereignty.
(The name Tobin Tax and the original concept derives from James Tobin,
a Ph.D. Nobel-laureate economist at Yale University.)
