She never really came out agaisnt the tax, but after the elections she never pushed it or mentioned it ever again!

It seems like they just want it to be in consideration among the other options as well, they are trying their best to get it considered as so Brown doesnt look like that much of an ass at home. We shall see what the IMF states after this, although they might not say anything publically.

Frontpage of IMF website saying how they plan some kind of insurance levy on banks for protection, but a transaction levy is not one of them. http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/survey/so/2009/NEW110709A.htm

Seems Brown wont quit, he is sending a team to lobby the IMF to atleast put the tax under consideration for the report due in April about ways to finance future crisis's. So far the IMF has struck down the idea and said they were not even considering it for thier report. Guess Brown is trying to...

I agree REDUKE, seems like fancy or fantasy accounting to me.

Anyways we can for now go off facts until the facts are otherwise proven different. Fact US, CANADA, RUSSIA, ECB AND IMF all oppose the trasnaction tax. The IMF despite what some articles say, they are not looking into the transaction tax as one of thier proposals to the G20 in April of next...

Yeah there is a lot of Bias over there becuase a lot of the NGO'S and charity organizations line there pockets. Also did you see the article on a union in the UK wanted to implement the tobin tax on the C.H.A.P.S system, which is an instant money moving system in over there. Seems like its kind...

See Guru there are tons of crap out there, and when they talk about the administration from when I emailed the autor of this , its who they can get a hold of in congress, which meant you know who, DeFazio. So for now it is talk in congress and we know that. Its not like the legislation isnt...

Its hard now becuae there are so many articles about it, especially like this secret push to sell Tobin Tax on the city. Its getting ridiculous, like there are numerous articles saying how Brown has now backed off the plan. Also a few where they were blaiming the media for the focus on the tax...

He is just trying to save face, Downing street and Brown went on the offensive the past few days after so many people in his own country critiszed his idea. Brown along with number 10 tried to blame it on the media of only focusing on his tax idea, when they said he gave a few ideas that should...

HFT that is being probed by the sec and congress is not intraday trading, it is high speed latency based trading, which most do not due here on ET. HFT is not really an issue. Whether they ban it or not, they are not talking about day trading or even scalping.

I think your right maybe if a few sponsers pull out, wishful thinking on my part, but if they did then the show would get the picture!

LOL I know !!

That little guy was Dean Baker basically the one who started this thread with his NY time article, he was such an ass when he said , " it wont affect me"

Good find ,thanks

I found it surprising that she didnt mention that on Saturday, the IMF, ECB, RUSSIA, CANADA, US, SWEDEN and some other Scandinavian countries came out against the tax, pretty shitty reporting with her bias!

Another useless debate on cnbc, same crap everytime, they bring on only one of 3 people Defazio, Dean Baker (who wrote the initial NY TIMES article) and the other guy I forgot his name but works for Dean Baker. 3 left leaning basically radicals:) I shouldnt even have wasted my time to watch...
