There is climate legislation that has been stalled in the senate awaiting cooperation from other countries before it is passed.

Clinton made the offer contingent on the conference's reaching a broader agreement, including on the issue of "transparency," demanding a Chinese commitment to allow some kind of oversight to verify its actions to control emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. This is...

Obam is not even at the conference yet. We do not know what he will do , no reason to panic yet. Regardless of what he does, it still has to go thru congress. Yes and the senate is a place where we have friends, so no reason to panic yet. Also did you see Kevin Rudd, PM Australia against the...

Good stuff from the Australian PM Kevin Rudd inregards to tobin. He was discussing the Ethiopian/British/French proposal of funding for climate goals: Mr Rudd said a proposal from Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi to raise billions of dollars through levies on aviation and shipping and...

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/12/16/house-narrowly-passes-democratic-jobs/ Jobs bill passes house, no mention of tax yet, Just passed so we have to see the details soon I hope to make sure.

Yes that was from the summer, and no talk or debate on it. The bill we are discussing now is the hr4191 it covers oil as well everythhing else

While true that politicians can change their tune at any time, I would much rather see the U.K. elect a conservative like Cameron, than a liberal like Brown. Having Cameron as Prime Minister wouldn't guarantee anything on the transaction tax, but I would like our chances a hell of a lot more if...

Just keep in mind elections, we all think Cameron could be this savior. But he could be doing a Gordon Brown and just trying to win the election with this stance. One of the biggest opponents of this tax at international meetings over the years, was none other then Gordon Brown! Now he is the...

They talk of all this legally binding stuff in Copenhagen, but it still needs to go thru legislation here in the US especially anytype of global levy.

I know aviation , ttransactions etc... its getting to be ridiculous! I am a Darwinism type person survival of the fittest, just like trading. We do not have enough money as it is. We shouldnt have to tax everything we do to give to the poor. Especially when we have our own homeless and mal...

http://allafrica.com/stories/200912151055.html Something to look for when Obama comes to town, the EU and Africa want some more taxes.

Yeah it would be great if it was 1.25 on a round turn but look at what this guy says, it would be a 1.25 if you purchased 500 dollars of stock. We know the value of an sp contract is about 50-60k so thats about 150 bucks each way or 300 round turn. This guys letter is nuts. That means it would...

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/billy-parish/finacing-a-real-deal-in-c_b_392345.html Here is another article from Huffington Post. It talks about a global tax during this copenhagen meeting. It even has a letter thats pre filled out to go to Obama. Thats not good for us. Please leave your...

Obama has talked about a financial stability fee from the banks but never expanded on what that meant some take it as a fee on the banks and others especially in europe take it as support for the tax

http://www.smallgovtimes.com/2009/12/the-secret-plan-to-pass-a-global-tax/ This guy from OXFAM is non stop. He has been on this issue for the year everywhere all over it. I wish we had the same way to get it out there on our end, as the opposition for the tax.

Good find, I hope they call for it early and then we can really put to bed a global tax, becuase Cameron would be against it ! Thanks Seaside

I cannot find anything more indepth on Volcker. but if you go back to septemeber with some articles, he still has some reservations on it but says its a good idea for congress to put a study in and see, but warns that to little of a rate wont do anything in raising money, to much of a rate will...

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE5BC0MH20091213 Semi positive response from Paul Volker on the transaction tax, he said he opposes. Its a lot different then a few months ago when he said the transaction tax was an interesting idea and it should be studied in congress, so we can take...

I only saw an excerpt from summers but he didnt talk about it from what I saw. I will look tonight and see what I can find

According to CNBC our treasury came out and said there are no plans for a one off bonus tax like UK and France. Despite their calls for the US to join in. Atleast we are standing up!
