Kamala wants a 0.2% transaction tax

  1. Regardless of who wins, this will never pass either congress or senate and will likely never come up at all. Even disregarding the Wall Street lobby (which is huge), the stock market is a political utility by now. No politician would fuck with it.

    I agree.
    Does anybody know where this kind of taxation was a success in the long term?
    I know a few where it was a disaster. Sweden, Belgium, France...

    Would've really preferred that the Biden ticket focused more on job creation in other industries of the economy instead of just taxing and taxing and taxing the few industries that are barely making money. Wall Street took a huge hit with the Covid crap.

    And I am sorry. She is not just Black. She's also South Asian. It would be really good and also important that her other heritage is celebrated as well.

    she identifies as black probably because more people care about that than her Indian heritage. Or maybe she identifies as black because most of her friends growing up were black.

    Biden isn’t focused on taxing a few industries. We are all up in arms because all the marginally profitable traders will get hurt by this tax.

    She's as black as Obama or tiger woods. Let people identify with whatever heritage they grew up with. I don't get the racial hang up with cons on this issue. Maybe they ought to go back to the one blood drop rule if it confuses them so much.

    Well that's the problem. If you want racial equality and everybody to regard all races to be equal why is she advertising more of her black heritage than her South Asian heritage which is just as prestigious and worth celebrating than her African one? Why is she regarding her South Asian heritage less equally than her African one? She shouldn't be caring about what other people view her heritage, she should care about how she views herself and she shouldn't be sacrificing or hiding her own heritage just for the sake of appealing to others, not your heritage cuz that's who she is. She is equally black and South Asian and that's who she is.

    Biden shouldn't be focusing on taxing a few industries. It should be focusing on creating jobs in all industries, not just taxing the financial industry and especially taxing the "little guys", the average joe's. I thought the Democratic party is all about looking after the "little guys". What happened to that? LOL

    Like I said, Biden is not going to be elected. I won't be voting for him.

    because the cons like to play identity politics. She said she considers herself black.

    how many white American’s consider themselves Irish: More than there are people in Ireland.

  10. One does not identify their own race, the biology will identify their race.

    Kamala is:
    50% = Asian
    25% = White
    25% = Black

    But she identifies herself as black because she knows the left can be manipulated by race, especially black.

    Real blacks should realize that the left has been using the black race to further their political career. They should boycott these self-claimed blacks.
