You underestimate your opponent because they know how play human psychology. You dealing with psychopathic element that knows no limits. The law of large numbers says that the US is already past the point of no return. By the time you figure it out if ever you will be hiding scared or fighting for food and not thinking about any freedoms.

well, if you want to go by large numbers, it is just a short matter of time before all humans become extinct
 
A FTT will kill pension/401k returns. Just kill them. It will wreak havoc with ETFs.

Germany may be able to strongarm this through the EU, but the UK will walk, and the current migrant debacle will have given them the pretext to do so. Asia won't touch this. Neither will the United States, even with Bernie Sanders as President.

Germany and France will be lashed to the mast of their own sinking ship. But I don't see the rest of the world joining them.

The law of large numbers I'm familiar with is a theorem in statistics that basically says if you perform an experiment a large number of times, the average results will approach the expected value. Using that accepted definition your post makes even less sense than before. Do you have another definition or did you just hear that somewhere, liked the sound of it, and randomly added it in a failed attempt to make the post sound more intelligent? If you truly believe this, why are you not hunkered down in a bunker, with no connection to the internet because you know the gubmnt can track you through that, don't you?

I did not ask for advice regarding my internet connections and living quarters. For the rest of the questions you have to use your own brain or simply just wait and see, it will come to you and knock on your door.

Several months ago they commented that they had come to an agreement and dealt with issues that had been a stumbling block in negotiation, they had a deal and would be announcing it in early autumn, now we are back to the "it will apply to the entire eu" business...

Mr Schäuble told reporters after the meeting that having a tax across only 11 of the EU’s 28 countries sat awkwardly with plans under development in Brussels to better integrate capital markets across the entire bloc.

The attitude is truly nauseating. There is no way in hell this is coming to the uk with a conservative government, labour have just voted a hard vile leftist as leader, he wants it but his mouth is shut until 2020 and his chances slim. The funny thing about all this is that in the five years they have been talking and achieved nothing the uk has collected about 3 billion year on year from its market tax. Though the tax is not ideal the uk respects its citizens and the value of markets, it applys only to shares and not the derivatives upon them and uk citizens are free to trade where ever they like without being infringed upon by the government.

So where is germanys tax? Ah yes, its still stood around holding the hands of friends, as though a child about to do a bad thing but will not do it unless absolutely every one joins in and they all get the blame if there is a consequence. The brits are sick and tired of the attitude they everything must be harmonized, especially when its something we do not want but the germans say you must have it, harmonization!

Because they have markets of such depth. Don't be taken in by the squealing, again and again this issue is bought up by pigaticians when they feel the need to divert the public's attention away from something or want to make them selves look good.
