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

CNBC twit is going to have a segment on this tax AGAIN this afternoon. Like seaside says, don't email her and add fuel to the fire.
 
She has some ego on her, cant let something that has been shot down internationally go by the wayside. She has been wrong and her ass needs to admit it already. As we saw this weekend, lots of countries came out against this including her own. She is such a whore, I would love to email her that but I wont email her becuase I do not want to fan this fire for her to keep talking about! She talks about Brown and how great he is bringing this up not realizing he is waning in political support at home and is granstadning on a public/news chasing headline stage.
 
I am really impressed by Strauss-Kahn lately.

The problem is pretty much over( at least for you in the US ), but every time this crap is getting pushed around you, just tell them: " Aren't you happy that the banks will have to pay directly ( in an insurance fund ) instead of everybody?". that will make them shut their mouth.
 
This problem is not over by any means, I wish it were. Unfortunately no one that has come out against this tax yet holds a vote in the congress or the senate.
 
Congress and senate before they vote will hold debates on it and I am sure Geithner/Obama Administrations opposition to this will come into play but for the mean time, it doesnt have anywhere near the support it needs to pass if it were looked at within our government. Beides all the talk , the bill has not been looked at or under consideration after it has been sitting there for almost a year now. So this was definately a big blow to anyone talking about pushing through the tax. Where we still need to be cautiuos here at home for it, it definatley lost a lot of its legs thig weekend. Eespcially if the IMF comes up with a way to tax banks for this with out taxing retail or penison fund transactions as Geithner said in his TV interview , he wanted something that would not affect retail or pension, so thats why the levy against banks in some form of insurance fee might be something they are looking at. When the IMF reports back in April on this as one of there conclusions it will help. People like Defazio in congress will no longer be able to say we are not doing anything for those responsible for the crisis, instead of retail the institutions will be taxed or assed a fee and not on transactions. So besides having no merit already Defazio's bill will be even worse becuase we would have found a way to recoup money and protect for future crisis's with a fund. Either way , one step closer after this weekend which is a positive step

By the way a few people in congress/senate came out against this. I forgot some of the names but the 2 that stick are John Boehner and Chuck Schumer.
 
--- DO NOT EMAIL CNBC ABOUT YET ANOTHER STORY BURNETT IS GOING TO DO ON THE TRANSACTION TAX AT 2PM ET TODAY!!! BURNETT SAID THE LAST TIME THAT SHE WAS DOING THE STORY BECAUSE OF ALL THE EMAIL THEY RECEIVED FROM HER COVERAGE!!! **DO NOT FAN THE FLAMES PEOPLE** MORE EMAILS = MORE STORIES ---

NO EMAIL TO CNBC.

EMAILING THE RETAIL BROKERS WHOSE BUSINESS WOULD BE COLLAPSED BY THIS TAX ASKING WHY ARE THEY ADVERTISING ON HER SHOW WHEN SHE CONTINUALLY PROMOTES THE VERY TAX THAT WILL KILL THEIR BUSINESS MAY BE WORTH CONSIDERING AT THIS POINT. MAYBE THAT SORT OF ATTENTION OVER HER OBSESSION WON'T GET HER SO GIDDY. JUST A THOUGHT.
 
I Agree.

It is coming up on StreetSigns today on CNBC, Erin said something like "Perhaps the opponents are criticizing it too much?"
