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

Summers himself stated he was a repentent transaction tax advoate and was not for it any more years after he wrote that article for the tax. I will search for it again where he said that. I found it once for somenoe who PM'D me on here let me see if I can find it again. They keep quoting Lary Summers from 1989 but they have failed to tell everyone he came out years later agaisnt this. Defazio doesnt care though about the truth just his agenda, and teh fucking geeky smirk he has on his face when he talks!

Well, which is it??

It may not repeat it as far as number of seats won. Maybe the GOP will end up with a few less seats since more Independent/conservative candidates are expected to run against the Democrats than in 1994.
Nothing like being an "ANAL" tard eh Bishop?

I think there is some kind of voodoo in that reference to Summers. One week ago, I customized the whole tobin tax excerpt in french language wikipedia and removed Summers name from supporters. Today, I look at it and the only thing that changed from my text is that Summers name is back... :mad:

Oh touche!! I stand here bleeding from your rapier-like wit.

We need every broker to call the media and say they would run out of business with this tax, like Schwab did.

Bad news. Erin Burnett doing another segment on trader tax this hour. She will not leave us alone. BUT don't flood her with emails. As seaside has pointed out, let's not inadvertently fan the flames.
