    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    I'm sure they hate Defazio. So all they need is a bill without DeFazio's name on it. I've seen it happen often in office politics at work. The subordinates have 'great' ideas shot down. Months later someone from upper management suddenly has the same great idea, claims it as his own idea and...

    ECONOMICS - If you were benevolent dictator, what rules would you impose?

    A group of people - a country - will always perform much better when each individual is allowed to be self-directed instead of micro controlled. Think of any game. A few fair rules are required to play the game. No favoritism, no exceptions.

    Dateline NBC

    Lots of posts on the woman's ability to do math. Sounds like the woman knew that $2100 was a bigger number than $1600 because a poster said that the woman said that her sister was going to help make payments. What if her sister didn't feel like making payments anymore? What if she or her...

    Call for Depopulation in the UK

    Overpopulation of UK is another bogus crisis but they could cut down on the huge number of immigrants and their large multiplication from out breeding the natives. Countries reach zero population growth once they become industrialized etc. The 3rd worlders over populate and spread.

    I secretly hate rich people, but also hate poor people.

    Don't try so hard, fail and then write a best $eller about your experience and of there being no opportunity in the US.

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Or he may be a long term investor blaming day traders for his losses whenever the market drops like many others do on this site. One site said he used to be a bicycle repairman. He certainly wasn't cut out for that and had to take a toilet dive and be a politician.

    Why you struggle if you have 99.99% chances you won't even make a living by trading?

    That's why I said that I did not know if it was true. I read it on a site about 4 years ago, don't remember what site. I looked on the NFA site at the time and did not see anything. Those that are still not profitable do not want to believe it would take that long. Those that are profitable...

    Why you struggle if you have 99.99% chances you won't even make a living by trading?

    It takes 10,000 hours to excel in any profession, to be in the top 5% or greater. Most people give up after a couple months because if they can't have it now... Don't know if it's true or not, a certain web site claims that the National Futures Association has said that it takes 7 years...

    Tax food for thought...

    Only the middle class is productive? Assets are not productive? Make them take their assets and put it to a productive use or tax their assets? Adolf Hitler said that capital gains are "effortless income", hence his 100% tax on gains above a certain amount. Now I see where Renegen is coming...

    Specs are Obama's best friend........for now

    Why do they think the above will improve market conditions and more importantly the economy? Always doing the opposite of what they should at great cost. Makes one believe that things are done wrong intentionally. Human nature goes against expletive-ism. Most humans still left with a will to...

    Rep. Pete Defazio Defends Trader Tax

    Charge the tax immediately before the process even gets started. No monthly payments. In cash. No credit card. Most people have no concept of cash, only credit. Watch most of them scurry around hitting up anyone for a few bucks. "I don't have $500 on me for the Housing Bailout Transaction...

    It Begins. Holder Announces Plan To Ban Semi-Auto Guns

    Go ahead and confiscate firearms from the peasants. Basement machine shops will spring up everywhere making millions of firearms. No liability insurance necessary so they will be nice and cheap, plus machine shops won't be discovered like when meth labs blow up, much greater secrecy.
