ICAP's Spencer rubbishes FTT

Further, FTT-hold-out DC is yet to be grilled by the Leveson witch hunt (LOL) and possibly Robert Jay's prosecutorial questioning style loaded with innuendo and deliberate witness aggravation. How DC would react to that sort of intimidation is anyone's guess. Afterwards, DC has to retain the desire and mettle to lead, both of which some astute pundits around here are expressing doubts.

Commissioner Semeta still hopeful for an EU wide FTT:
http://www.internationaltaxreview.c...-hopeful-for-an-EU-wide-FTT.html?LS=EMS653968
It mentions the member states are going to vote on the ftt proposal in June.
So this clown is saying that the UK has not said no to a final compromise on the ftt? What planet is he living on? For some reason I can't copy any of the text. Plus I don't have access to the entire article.

[...]Financial Services Ireland director Brendan Bruen described the whole idea of the tax as political grandstanding.
"I think the recent developments in the German parliament are just political grandstanding. The FTT doesnât make economic sense, even if introduced across all 27 member states, for Germany or for anyone else."[...]

Do you think the U.S. should impose a transaction tax on Wall Street?

Thats the sad thing here. These people voting yes have no clue that this is simply a tax on their investments and retirements. They just see a tax on wall street and say he thats a great idea.
Cameron restated his opposition just today:
"On the financial transaction tax I'm very clear. We are not going to get growth in Europe or in Britain by introducing a new tax that would actually hit people as well as financial institutions so I don't think it is a sensible measure and I will not support it."

buhwaawawawawa!!!
Dem liberals who only read msnbc.com and watch mslsd just have no clue. But then again, it's easy to dupe the masses.
I happened to pass by mslsd surfing the TV the other day...I about threw up how liberal and nasty that station is. They have this "Lean Forward" slogan going on in the upper right all the time (which, odumbo is doing "Forward").
I used to watch mslsd back in the 90's in school...OJ simpson trial, etc. It was all good and all news. Now it is a 24 hour liberal circle jerk. Yuck!!
