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

This tax is a horrible idea! It would ruin me and a lot of other people I know! The tax wouldn't even solve anything! It would make us all lose our jobs and reduce the liquidity in commodities markets. I sure would like it if politicians actually did research when they decide to propose a new law. It is my firm opinion that if it doesn't concern their reelection they have no idea what they're talking about.
 
It will destroy tons of people, firms closing, liquidity and spreads back to the 80-'s-90's.

The good thing is the Europe is intent on destroying themselves...let them pass it and they will be shitting bricks when their markets grind to a halt and they get less revenue than before.

The biggest threat to the free world is not terrorism...it's liberal's. They lie so well and want to tax and spend and bloat all guberments, they get so many people believing them...scary.
 
For example....I bet the vast majority in that poll (51% of public support a ftt) just listen like drones to these socialistic politicians. Taxing trades does not hurt the banks they claim they are after...all that cost is passed back down to the little guys anyways. But they hear the spew that comes out of the mouths and just go along with it, not understand the destruction this does to free markets....then again, that is what liberal's want anyways...another scary thought.
 

This shit it getting outta control over there. All of the EU is doomed. Look at those f*ckin idiots in the robin hood costumes...go get a real f*cking job. And, the poll is 5:1 in favor!! People just have no clue on anything and listen to the liberal, socialist, tax and spend, then spend more, go into debt, assholes for votes.

Sorry...this issue gets my blood pumping :D
 
Does anyone know how to find out if this issue is actually on the agenda for this weekend's g20 meeting, or does that info not come out until after the meeting? I looked at g20 website, but didn't see anything.
 
I completely disagree with this tax and it should be tossed.

This is just the government trying to get a cut of the pie. And what are they going to do with the revenue? Spend it on some silly thing.
