One suggestion that has been floated around here is a "securities transaction tax" of 0.25%, which has been estimated at producing in the realm of $100 billion a year.

That way, Wall Street could pay their own way out of the mess they got themselves into.

Here's an interesting analysis I picked up from a blog run by a tax law professor.
