Checking and savings accounts are next. How about a transaction fee every time you deposit and withdraw at your bank? It's to punish the banks and Wall Street. It will only be 0.5%, so it won't hurt you none. People moving from bank to bank and broker, as each bank and broker fails. That...

Summers seems to be a proponent of a transaction tax.

If it can be imagined, they will try to get away with it. I'm not surprised. A while ago I had feared retirement accounts would be raided if you know who got elected. I would like to say thanks to slightly over half of the people that voted the way they did. Now all must pay for it. It...

If the rulers of the people allow us to short, that is. The government knows best. I'm just sitting here waiting to be told what to do.

Here we go. Saying anything negative about socialism, Democrats, etc, will result in being considered racist because how could anyone not agree to forced ideology.

The government's solution would be to add a transaction tax for the consumer to pay for each buy and sell of an auto. They would claim it would prevent wild swings in the auto industry like they claim reintroducing a transaction tax on stocks would prevent sell-offs. Gotta make the auto...

Kind of hard for the media to criticize their own candidate that they have chosen.

I find it ironic that there is no money for the war that the majority of Democrats supported, but all kinds of money for 0bama's proposed health care, 0bama's proposed 3 million man army-"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that...

Just a natural reaction, trying to hold on to what they worked for.

If McCain loses I'm going to riot!! I've been waiting for this, with all my pent up emotions, I can't seem to self-direct my life and do the right thing, been waiting for someone to do something for me, now my dreams are dashed. I'm going to burn down my neighborhood, my relatives'...

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set," he said Wednesday. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded." "..national security objectives...

Socialists for decades have been labeling failed and failing socialist governments as communism, Nazism, fascism, right wing, Marxism, saying how bad all those are, but we really got it going because our system hasn't failed yet. Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, National Socialist German...

Gone for a year, thought your health made you go bye-bye. Health is greater than wealth.

Just missing a huge amount of interest, dividends, capital gains, etc.

Promises subject to change.

I suppose an agreement on collecting tax on the CDS's would mean just having to tax all futures products. I chose my handle, FightTheFuture, as nothing to do with futures trading, but THE FUTURE, as in "the future sucks". The media keeps spewing out $700 billion, Wall Street must pay...

Liquidity US stock transaction tax from 1916 to 1966. NYSE average daily volume in 1961: 4 million shares verus some 2 billion today. The government gets its share up front whether you lose or not. Imagine that. Imagine having a job or business and paying the new year's taxes on...

Can't even handle a question, walks away from it. Obama Biden will crumple with a whimper when the crisis he predicts occurs.

Yes, you don't dare say anything insulting to those that rule over us. Otherwise it will be dismissed, not taken seriously, or result in a tax audit, etc. I have read that a hand written letter with ink pen and paper (anyone remember what that is?) is more effective than an email or even a...

Poor old Ralph, senile and insane. Must have wandered off from the nursing home. Get back in there! In a falling market like this one with a transaction tax, people would not hesitate at all to sell, but would certainly stop them from buying back in. Maybe that is why it took some 30 years...
