LOL - the article posted right before yours said the Robin Hoodies had conceded defeat on the FTT issue (instead settling for a FAT tax). Now they roll out Stiglitz and try and jump start this from the dead (again)?

Why can't these idiots figure out that the FTT is dead and will remain so? There is no global support for a FTT and I highly doubt their will ever be.

LOL!!!!!!! A joke of an article written by a FTT loving liberal douche bag!!!! Nothing more!!! You gotta love it when these shitheads twist just one or two words of their article to make it look like this issue is gathering "huge" momentum on their side, or the talks for implementing this FTT has been very encouraging, blah, blah, blah.......... It's just more liberal, shit for brains babbling that will never get anywhere.

That's right. Since the beginning of the thread, it has never been as dead as it is now. But prepare yourself for Sarko presidency of the G20, it will be pathetic but still annoying.

Ex Bundespräsident Horst Köhler together with Paul Volcker advising Sarkozy in the coming months in context with his G20 leading. Merkels economic adviser Jens Weidmann will be in the group too. - they will hunting for the FTT in the G20 Group.

It will be impossible to enact this, especially with a Republican controlled House of Representatives coming!!!!!! In addition, Canada, and other countries will remain in stern opposition.

1. We were out of business.

2. Now we're not.

3. That could always change.

Why would Paul Volcker be advising Sarkozy? Also the last I had heard Volcker wasn't too keen on a FTT these days.

They will work for a task group (working group, advicer group) inside the G20. There topics are the international currency reserves, capital transactions control and rates of exchange. You know Sarcozy or other forces wants a new international monetary order and this group should give them the background for arguments ...

I think you will read about it in USA, UK and France newspaper soon ...

Köhler = FTT

The G20 already had a high level task group - the IMF undertook a long and costly study that rejected a TT in favour of FAT - the G20 can't seek high level advice then subsequently ignore it.
TT proponents are resorting to a distinctly bullying style. You know the pattern - when bullies can't get what they want they become louder, angrier, more insistent. And increasingly disrespected.
