Imposing A Worldwide Tax On Financial Transactions

and bureaucrats will have a new pool of money from which to purchase expanded powers, while the "big corporations" will pass the costs on to us in the form of prices.
no thanks.

 

And Euro-weenies wonder why we call them Euro-weenies.

 

We should have let the Nazi's have them in 1943.

 

governments cant spend money they already have they deserve no more, and someone like always will be favored by doing this.

 

Europe gets a vote in UN for every state. America gets one. UN is a way for Europe to rule the world again. It gives them as much power collectively as they had after the Age of Exploration. Globalism is the goal. If American politicians would be worried about voting something like this in, they equally would have been worried of the repercussions from the public as far as supporting free trade. The repercussions were zilch, nada, zero. It is not hard to deceive a nation of working mutts, who actually identify as right or left, white or black. There is already an abundance of reasoning to not trust either party, or the UN, ever again. So tell me, why do both parties still swap control every election day? At this point, if the global elite want it, so shall it be.

 

America's membership on the security council gives an automatic veto. The UN is designed to allow the US, England, France, Russia, and China to collectively rule the world. It's actually "illegal" to declare war on any of those nations by liberal reckoning due to their security council status. The UN has become too powerful and should be dissolved.

 

That has to do with war. One must realize, people at the top of any given nation have more in common with each other than the nationals who make up their respective nations. Globalists are anti-nation states. If we can get a nationalist into power, than yes, no doubt removing ourselves from the UN should, and would, be a top priority.

 

Might as well go fo the Bankor while we're at it.

 

Where will people go to escape the tyranny of one world government? Do these people really think they can know what's best to do with the worlds resources? Can someone explain to me such hyper-arrogance is even possible? Short of a mental disorder..

 

The wanting is as old as the hills. The bible talks of the tower of Babel. I'm no bible thumper. Just saying that's how old the desire is. If not older. Don't think there has been a world elite this close to accomplishing such a feat. However, the hardest part to any project is the finishing touches. Your tired, maybe a little bored of whole thing, and just want it to be done. And that's, more often then not, when you screw the whole thing up.

 

Why do you favor it?

 

I assure you Lotor, I do not. I'm just a realist. How can you expect the American public to literally fight it, when they can't even stop voting the traitors into power?

 

Ah, well I wouldn't have guessed you did, but I looked at the vote. America will have big problems if the leadership were tong along with it IMO. Secession type problems.

 

I did vote yes. Out of spite. As childish as that may be. What the top of every nation don't realize, is by having no loyalty to the bottom, the bottom need not have loyalty to them. To the average American, globalists are all the same. To nationalists everywhere for that matter. But fact is, they are distinctly different in their own regards. Sure they are globalists, so they will join together to squash any sort of nationalist movement in a western nation, but as to their own ends, they are still capitalists verses collectivists. That's why they can look you in the eye, claim they are different, and truly believe it. By letting capitalists pimp the world for a few decades, they create the environment for the working class of every nation to support world governance, to put regulations on international trade. This is the key. The capitalists are chasing a golden carrot off a cliff. In the time being, they will make tons of profits, but in the long run, world wide socialism wins. Obviously, for what intellectuals lack in economics and work ethic, they more than make for in political shrewdness. Basically, for the long run, your choices are nationalist capitalism, or global socialism. I would prefer national capitalism, as I'm sure all free thinking individuals would.

 

Great day for European integration last thursday on 21/07, which also happens to be the National Holiday of Belgium (Independence Day for Ameros), when we, Europeans, basically threw Americans under the bus!

A worldwide tax on financial transactions will happen in the near future -- nothing America can do about it. Who knows, maybe we can call it a "security surcharge".

 

Ah yes, the old tax our way to prosperity myth. Wonderful!

 

Uhm, no -- this is not about generating taxes for revenue's sake.

It is about fairness and security -- and all the money generated will go towards devolempent aid. I see your attention-span is quite limited indeed.

 

worldwide taxes , NO NO NO

 

Absolutely, the tax our way to equality and prosperity myth. I love it.

 

LOL!

You cleary can read and write -- so,... I wonder what your problem is?!

Comprehending reading probably wasn't your strongest sub-section during language exams in high school -- was it?

 

Taxes create dead weight loss to the economy (global economy in this case). All this tax will do is discourage money transfers which are often integral to global business. Thus, by extension, it will hamper trade. ESPECIALLY, if it's as high as 5%. Many companies live and die by a small margin. 5% is MASSIVE just for exchanging money. In fact, one of the reaons for the world's recent prosperity in the last few decades is our ability, using technology, to carry out these global transactions quickly and cheaply. Such a tax will just set the global economy back a few decades.

 

I like the most accurate label...'Rapacious Government Greed'.

 

Nobody ever advocated 5% -- I was talking about 0,05% and others -- the politicians -- are talking about 0,005%.

 

It is clear to me...where do foreign bureaucrats get off taxing Americans?

 

No.

And this adresses IgnoranceIsBliss' point too.

The money generated by the Tobin Tax would be re-invested in the world economy, especially in the South. Enhancing economic development, stability, peace, trade and other forms of awesomeness...
