De Fazio is an ass. Appealing to the knee-jerk reaction of joe public. Referred to daytrading in disgust and hinted we provide nothing. Politics as usual.
Meanwhile, CNBC commentator Rebecca Jarvis couldn't even pull her head out of her arse long enough to ask some rather BASIC questions . . . Why not ask him why he fails to make a distinction between Wall Street and INVESTORS on "Main Street" that will be taxed on their IRA trades/investments, and re-allocating their portfolios? Why not ask him why it is that House Speaker Pelosi is not in favor of this, since we have yet to see if the taxpayers' investment in TARP has paid off? She is on record as saying that we should wait 5 YEARS first to see if the taxpayer INVESTMENT yields a rate of return. She should have also asked DeFazio why it is that he was proposing this VERY SAME TAX back in 2001? I would suggest that his agenda has nothing to do with paying for TARP. He's simply out to get speculators that provide liquidity in the markets. Why is she so "brain-dead" that she is unable to ask the most BASIC interview questions???
Your 1k would be better served pooled to hire someone to follow his ass and get a pic of him sticking it to a hooker/page/intern, because just looking at him and listening to his whining voice, he probably pays for it.
What's the point? A far left liberal will only dodge and obfuscate. He's so liberal, he makes Nancy Pelosi uneasy. And that's saying something. But Rebecca sure is purdy though, ain't she? Eat her up, I could.

Someone should ask DeFazio point blank, why it is that he continues telling anyone that will listen that WE need to pay for TARP with this transaction tax, when the fact of the matter is that he has been proposing this tax since 2001 with a Representative from Minnesota. He's lying about his "agenda".
The only one smart enough to ask those questions is, unfortunately, Raddigan. It would have been nice to see him not let that dick get a word in edgewise, like he does to everyone else.
I don't know how many of you make your full time living trading, but that is what I do and that really set me off. He told me I do nothing for the good of our country, provide no value. I pay a tax on my profits so that ass can piss it away. I buy goods and services with my profits, some of which are for my business and the rest to support my family, and holy crap does that require a lot of spending, but I guess all that spending is bad for the economy that he helped screw. I called the congressman from my state, Paul Ryan who is on the committee, and blasted, and I'm calling Defuzzyio also and blast him.
