Overall, there is not much to be said against the tax (other than what is said against all taxes), and something to be said for it. But it does not help to solve major financial problems, and those that it does address (short-term, overnight financing) could be dealt with more directly, with a more focused tax, better rules governing those transactions, and improved prudential regulation.
总而言之，除了反对一切税收都适用的理由外，没有反对托宾税的特别理由，但支持托宾税的理由有不少。但是，托宾税并不能解决主要金融问题，而它所能解决的问题（短期隔夜融资问题）能够用更具定向性的税收、更好的交易治理规则和更佳的审慎监管给予更直接的解决。
