you know if they attempt to push this thru, then we should push our congressmen to institute and idiot McD tax for all the morons who think they are getting their daily protein, starch, and fat quotient by eating Big Macs every day. After all, it is these fat assess causing a significant stress...

Write your Congressmen/women and Senators, especially if you live in the NY or Chicago Area. (Even if you don't live here, write them anyway as if you did.) Schumer understands the importance of a healthy Wall Street as does Lautenberg and the other guy (???). I can't speak for Chicago, but I...

Right out of the Greenspan playbook: "It's Not My Fault!!"

Have you tried using another another front end to work with TWS? Buttontrader and Ninjatrader are both highly recommended with IB and the savings in spreads and executions will more than pay for the cost of the programs.

I think Guru was being facetious.

The cap-gains tax is a foregone conclusion at least back to 28%. I wouldn't be surprised if he/they index it to your tax rate.

Dude, even tho this is an open forum, there is no place for these type of comments. This can bring undue scrutiny to this board and eventually yourself.

This is part of the class warfare that Obama and Co. have unleashed. Just like Bush did with the terrorists (and even what Chavez is doing with his "US about to invade any minute" shtick) they are creating an enemy for the sheep to focus their attention. It's an old magicians trick: have them...

"We must write and enforce new rules of the road, to stop unscrupulous speculators from undermining our economy ever again." - President Barack Obama 2/14/2009 http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/09/02/14/A-major-milestone/

It is bad enough that they want this tax to repay TARP when it may not be needed (fingers crossed) but when people like Conyers look at it as a means to fund other programs, that is the scary shit. Make it ok for one thing, why not another.

The only jobs that Obama and the current Congress want to create and protect are Union/organized labor jobs. Except for the guys who clean the buildings where the firms are based, who else connected to this is a union member? (hey, there's a thought - we should organize and get chartered...

in addition to the rolled back rates on the capital gains tax.

Yes, Singapore is looking better and better every day. Jim Rogers got it right.

This tax is supposed to repay the TARP. Now they want to use it to pay for other shit??? From the funding portion of the proposal: (B) Increasing personal income taxes on the top 5 percent income earners. (C) Instituting a modest and progressive excise tax on payroll and self-employment...

No. When the US sneezes the world does not automatically catch a cold. It hasn't been this way in years.

Look to the overseas markets Sun/Mon to see where we are going before your begin to predict Tuesday's action. Don't automatically assume that this debt increase will prompt a steep sell-off when we resume trading on Tues.

Hey, if they are going to slap a transaction tax to "pay for this package" even tho it appears repayment is already underway, how about they also slap a "road use tax" on the cars coming our of Detroit to help pay for the loans that they are in no position to repay anytime soon or at all? Fair...
