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

Quote from Anaconda:

Now that's funny!

Out of curiosity, by leaving alone the financial sector, do you mean no Bailouts?

Yes, no bailouts, no regulations, no hidden socialist agenda. That's illusion that the government can spur the so called "real economy" by killing the profits of one of it's principal sectors ( financial ).
 
Quote from usman88:

1)This tax won't affect non-US citizens
2)US citizens/corporations affected by this tax would move to foreign exchanges (particularly true for futures & options)

Pelosi is pushing for a global tax. What can we do get get here out of office?
 
Maybe since they just passed this huge overhaul of the financial industry that'll keep them focused on actions needed to implement that vs trying to pass a new tax... keeping fingers crossed!

I agree. They saved the jobs of the big banks by bailing them out as to cut the jobs of the small retail traders now. And in the end the ignorant main street is going to pay the price of all that because the politicians can't afford to undermine the profits of the big banks as too important for the economy.
