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

    I watched the DeFazio video and he is so sure of himself - makes me want to smack him. I guess if you spend that amount of time creating a bill, you become delusional about it. I propose we tax all members of Congress 1% of their AGI everytime they introduce a bill. I mean, it is only fair...

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

    Another thing is why the huge percentage on stocks (0.25%) compared to everything else? Stock traders need to be punished above and beyond everybody else! Stock traders are the cause of the financial crisis! What BS.

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

    A job is a job. If the traders go, there will be a cascading effect on other jobs. Anyone who thinks this is just about saving traders is ignorant. I know personally I spend a small fortune on data fees. If this tax goes into effect, my data provider gets hurt and people will lose their jobs.

    Proposed new WAR TAX

    Sorry, that is a pretty lame reason to put our soldiers at risk. As has been proven over time, the reasons for entering the war were proven false. You could say the same thing for many other countries and we have not invaded them.

    Proposed new WAR TAX

    Wait, I thought that is why we went to Iraq? I guess you can justify any war using 9/11 and the American people will buy it. We should have been heavy in Afghanistan from the get go. I guess 8 years is the amount of time you need to figure out which war you should be fighting? It's pretty...

    Americans' tax burden is lightest in developed world

    You sound like Nixon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRzr1QU6K1o A weak currency never ends well for a country. You don't gain prosperity by weakening your currency. Sorry to say, but people who claim that a weak dollar is good for the US do not know what they are talking about.

    norton delete software

    This doesn't help the OP but Norton Antivirus is itself a virus with the way it affects the performance of your machine and the fact that it is so freaking hard to uninstall. At all costs, don't install that piece of crap software.
