"She called it "completely absurd" to introduce a national financial market transaction tax, which her current coalition partner, the SPD had proposed in a bid to have financial players help pay for costs caused by the financial market crisis."

Update from TV: She just said she wanted stronger financial companies, not weaker ones and the era of socialists policies to tax and spend was over.
 
Was talking about the german news and people pushing for the tax, never mentioned Obama. More goverments against the tax the better, and if you do the research our government, or atleast the high government not just a few senators like Defazio. But ones in government that knowb better do not want the tax, Geitner, Barney Frank etc.. So it is good news. Our country has always been the main country against this tax at every meeting and the fact it didnt make it on the communique where Europe was pushing it says the fact that our governement did not support it. So its good news all around, yes even for the US.
