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

I mentioned yesterday that Obama will start going after Wall Street more because he's being viewed by the far left as siding too much with the financial sector.

And as I said before, I hope we don't get caught in the crossfire.

By summer, Geithner will be gone. Hopefully we'll get a replacement that sides with us.

 

Yeah, there's no difference between Democrats and Republicans. lol The Republicans believe that you have the right to make your own decisions and choices in life, while the Democrats feel they have to make those choices for you. With the Democrats, it's all about controlling every breath you take. And of course, the mainstream media will buy into all that bullshit, ***which is why the majority of America has nothing but hate and mistrust for the mainstream media.*** Why are the ratings so high for networks like Fox News, and so low for CBS, NBC, CNBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, etc....??? Because Fox represents the American people, and not the politicians propaganda. Your theory is idiotic and pointless, as per usual.

 

Here's the audio from that segment. The level is a bit low for the first 10-15 seconds

What does this useless post have to do with the transaction tax?

 

Try listening to it and then thinking

 

That's ok, I'll just continue following the facts regarding the tax, not anecdotal garbage.

 

Europe calls for action on casino banking and excessive bonuses:

"The European Union yesterday urged the International Monetary Fund to plan for a global tax on financial transactions - the so-called Tobin tax - amid growing signs that even America may be persuaded to introduce the measure."

"The US has resisted calls for draconian measures against remuneration, and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has told Prime Minister Gordon Brown that he does not support a transactions tax either. But sources across the Atlantic say rumours continue that the tax will be forthcoming."

Who are these 'sources' indicating that a tax is forthcoming? Defazio perhaps? This has to be garbage.

There are no sources.. considering their stories always cite such old information I think it's pretty obvious they're flying by the seat of their pants. There should be a tax every time a reporter cites a "source" to give himself credibility when there is none...
