Occupy D.C. to March for Robin Hood Tax

"At 2:00 pm this afternoon, Occupy D.C. protesters will march from McPherson Square to the Treasury Department"

"Wall Streetâs reckless trading of risky financial products like mortgage-backed securities, credit default swaps, and derivatives helped redistribute wealth to the rich and wreck the global economy."

So the solution is to tax Apple and Google shares.......

These people don't care where the money comes from, so long as it flows to them and their cronies in the various bureaucracies. Government is a business to them and your "tax" is their "income", so of course they want to tax whatever they can.

Wolfgang says, "Interference in each otherâs budgetary affairs in the eurozone is 'the way we have to go'"

As a European I have to say the idea "fiscal union" scares the shit out of me. Britain needs to get out of the EU while it still can.

It should. Brussels is using the crisis to leverage full integration. The complete dissolution of national sovereignty and the creation of a true superstate. Members will still retain their "Borders" and national legislatures, but only for vestigial purposes - to maintain the illusion of independence. Ceremonial with no power. All decrees and laws will come down from unelected technocrats in Brussels. This is what they're doing. Bureaucratic Dictatorship.

these maneuvers would make the former rulers of the former Soviet Union proud.

Yea. It's frightening. I think the same plans are in store for North America - via the "North American Union". These globalists are authoritarians. What happens after they get their power monopoly and EU citizens have no right to vote or change their Government?

Sounds like a good opportunity to make the FTT sales pitch to Obama:

Obama to meet Sarkozy, Merkel this week

Way, way back in this thread I said FTT was coming. Then is was to save the planet from global warming and most on ET bought into the save the planet crap. Next it was to fight poverty. Now it is revenge against Wall Street and every step has been funded by the elite.

It is vital to get a global tax of any kind, be it Cap & Trade or FTT so that a structure is accepted that begins the transfer of sovereign powers into a New World Order. Smoke and mirrors will fool the sheeple into thinking they still have the last say.

Fight the good fight to the last and we might stall this til they come up with a better option. That is my hope but they hold the aces.

Yes, it's going to come up for sure! Do you think Sarkozy, Barroso and Van Rumpuy will be joining on a conference call?

Spiegel Online is good to read weekly. The German media's view of the debt crisis, politics and bailouts is very important.

This link is on German-led FTT. No m if not mobile.

It's interesting that Spiegel says they saw a draft copy of the G20 communique but it really doesn't say the communique mentions a ftt.

All they talk about is German finmin Schauble saying the EU should go it alone on a ftt. It will be interesting to see what the G20 says regarding the ftt (we all know they're going to reject it, again).
