shows how brilliant DeFazio is.... DeFazio is from Oregon... Oregon folks... like they are a financial center.. Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Chicago... no politician from any of those areas is going to sign on to this moron's attack on their tax base... I sent the emails anyhow, the politicians have to have some proof that people don't want this shit... and the White House cabinet is nearly all Goldman Alumni.... I'd be floored if this thing got anywhere but you never know...
could someone please post the relevant info for getting onto welfare and/or disability... this seems like the only programs that govt bureaCRATS are completely supportive of and determined to expand with total disregard for anything else....

London has a stamp duty, why aren't companies migrating to a foreign exchange? Big players will be exempt, small fish will get fried.
Will this tax apply to option market makers who must buy and sell huge blocks of shares every day to hedge their option book? If, so, watch those bid/ask prices on options widen to breath taking levels. If not, then we have a tax that only affects the little guys, not the big players. So, which is it?
Too true. Folks, if it's not nailed down or possible to nail down it's going to be taxed. Government are DESPERATE for cash and towards the end of this present game they'll turn on their citizens wanting EVERY penny they can get. Then of course they'll do their best to waste the vast majority of what they collect............
U.S. Republicans name anti-taxers to debt panel http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/08/10/u-s-republicans-name-anti-taxers-to-debt-panel/ Republican House Speaker John Boehner and Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's choices -- like those of Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, announced a day earlier -- blended expertise with a partisan edge. McConnell appointed Republican Senators Jon Kyl, Pat Toomey, and Rob Portman to the panel, while Boehner named Republican Representatives Dave Camp and Fred Upton to the panel, with Jeb Hensarling as a co-chairman. The committee, created by the debt-limit bill Obama recently signed after a bitter political battle in polarized Washington, faces the daunting task of finding at least $1.2 trillion in deficit cuts over ten years. Kyl, who is not seeking reelection in November 2012, is the number-two Senate Republican and represented McConnell at failed debt-reduction talks with Vice President Joe Biden earlier this year. Portman is in his first term as senator but has decades of experience in public service, including stints as then-president George W. Bush's US Trade Representative and White House budget chief. Toomey, a former Wall Street executive close to the archconservative "Tea Party" movement, serves on the Senate Budget, Banking, and Commerce Committees and argued during the just-finished battle over the US debt-limit that failure to approve an increase would not lead to a default.
