Another promoting the trans tax on a Time. com blog. And he admits he doesn't know crap, but knows the trans tax will fix everything: Soak the Bankers, Joe Klein "I've never been very interested in business news, always had difficulty remembering........"...

What is it with these "progressives" and their facial hair? Prez of the AFL-CIO, Baker and his brother Robert Pollin, Krugman of the NYT, etc. They remind me of certain leaders of certain countries, but you don't dare compare them. ------------------------------ Tax the Speculators: An Old...

ICI: Transaction tax would take big bite out of fund returns http://www.investmentnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100103/REG/301039993/1030/MUTUALFUNDS --------------------- The above is the only article I've seen mentioning Harkin's bill, unleashed 12-23-09. "Wall Street...

Seems like we would remember if he said it or seems like the original source would surface in the many searches. Articles that say 0bama is for the tax most likely get it from another article they have read, wishful thinking, they are speaking for 0bama, etc. None of the pro tax authors do any...

That's DeFazio's latest bill at 0.02% for futures and 0.25% for stocks. Other bills have or had futures at 0.25% the past year. It is not a relief to know that futures are at 0.02% for this one bill. It did not make me feel better. More bills on the way. The economic geniuses think they...

The last 10% of the above article mentions the negatives to make it "fair and balanced". -------------------------------- The future of London: Down, Not Out, in London http://www.newsweek.com/id/225617

Comments from hopefully not the future of America: "Perhaps Vincent Carroll can try to explain how this kind of trading benefits anyone outside of those trying to manipulate the market." (it's all market manipulation) "In fact it will not suppress trades at all....If a trader sees an...

At least somebody out in Oregon doesn't like DeFazio. This is the first time I've heard this. Happened Oct. 30 We must state a thingy not recommending this type of behavior, and blah, blah..... I would rather see DeFazio and company serve life in prison for something like attempting...

Much of what Baker writes, titles of articles and his responses to my comments, is written as though he is talking to a 5 year old. In previous articles this year, Baker bragged about how the tax would take trading volume back to the 1980's. 1982, I suppose nearly all stock volume at the...

I was thinking about 9/11 about an hour ago and don't they remember? DeFazio and his tactic of 0.25 for stocks and 0.02 for futures perhaps as an attempt to cause infighting.

A 0.5 percent federal tax on securities trading in the U.S. could raise upwards of $353 billion per year, according to a new analysis. http://industry.bnet.com/financial-services/10005603/securities-trading-tax-could-raise-big-bucks/ ------------------------- Now it's $353B. Aren't...

Comments needed to dispel the untruths. Funny how financial sites provide way too much of the proponent's views, and proponent sites offer none of our views in the article. Lawmakers Weigh A Wall Street Tax http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704247504574604053568517692.h

I had a comment rejected on a different trans tax article several days ago on prisonplanet. Not tin foil hat enough.

The Hill article praising DeFazio. Let's praise him, too. http://thehill.com/homenews/house/72889-pelosi-rahm-do-not-scare-rep-defazio

This thread is a year old. There have been several bills introduced this year and there will be many more with different rates. It does not make me feel any better at all that the latest futures rate is much lower. I do not want it if it is only one cent per side. It's best to not care what...
