1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

I guess the only bright spot about France pushing this tax is they keep calling for .005% which is the lowest we've seen. I'm sure it would get jacked up after that though...

And Barroso again in favor of transaction tax today, "if implemented worldwide". Didn't find a link in english.

 

The foot in the door approach. Smart and insidious.

 

An offense to who...me? LOL. This guy has always been a populist moron of epic proportion.

 

Dean Baker on cnbc now, lets see if he talks about the tax, right now he is talking about cap gains on small businesses

 

Just making sure if your from France not trying to offend you I just cannot take anymore of Sarkos threats to walk out on Global meetings when he doesnt get his way, but never walks out!

 

Well it was predictable that this tax would come up during the Climategate talks in Copenhagen. It's good that Germany no longer favors the tax as this will never happen internationally (IMHO) and certainly not here in the US...

Why does this guy get so much airtime? Enough of him already

 

He didnt say anything about the tax it was just talk with kudlow about other things

 

Trans tax is not gonna happend, Obama just give small businesses 0% cap gains,
no WAY he's going to put a new tax on Wallstreet Now!! that will hurt this small businesses.
