CNSNews.com - Pelosi Endorses ‘Global’ Tax on Stocks, Bonds, and other Financial Transactions

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) endorsed the idea of a “global” tax on stock trades and other financial transactions, saying the estimated $150 billion in annual revenue from such a tax could be used to help fund more stimulus spending


What do we do tonight brain? welll...........Let's tax the world......
Pinky (of pinky and the brain) was smarter than this idiot that the bay area elected.
What does that say about them?

 

[concept]

Fucking liberals.

Damn what is their fixation/addiction to taxes?

They are like crack whores at this point.

 

[WillowTree]

it's in their genes!

 

[uscitizen]

It is a global economy.

 

[California Girl]

it's in their genes!

No doubt they'll tax them next.

Another useful example of the same chics posting hysterical partisan dribble and patting each other on the back.

jesus these people are stupid.

end the wars, remove all the crap that is currently called "defense spending" that has 0 to do with defense, end the entitlement programs, pay back the debt, then you have no need for 95% of the taxes.

Ohh yeah, quite simple.. As in anyone who thinks that can be done.

easily done in time.... the wars first.

phasing out of entitlement programs over a generation or two also wouldn't be that difficult.

Hastert just wanted to spend, spend, spend with no concept of replenishing any of it. That big fat ignorant yesman..

There is so much wrong with such simple thinking I hardly know where to begin.
End the wars: How? We have become the police force for the world (thank you GWB). What are the consequences of leaving Iraq and Afghanistan in a power vacuum?

Remove all the Crap...that has zero to do with defense: Sure, every state in our union counts on DOD for jobs, building weapon systems that have less to do with defense and more to do with the reelection of the local congressperson or US Senator.

Which "entitlement programs" will you cut off? SSI & SS? Medicare? Subsides to big pharma, big farma and the oil cartel? Sure, any congressperson or senator who votes to do away with such perks will have a well funded opppoinent in a NY minute.

Oh, and where did you find the 95% figure?

Deflect all you wish, but the fact is a global tax is being considered.
World peace first, global tax next | Thinking Right with Jim Wooten
Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) has introduced legislation to levy a tax on all stock and related financial transactions, including futures contracts and options. The levy would start small, as they always do, at one quarter of one percent. As proposed, the levy would give Congress another $150 billion per year in spending money.

At least we could make the rest of the world pay. Tax tax tax, tax and bomb, hell of an idea-how much can we extort from Afghanistan? We could make them pay to bomb them.

"you guys" voted to cut income taxes - making them more regressive - and invaded and occupied Iraq at a cost of $ billions each month since 2003. The cost in lives, treasure and future interest on this unfunded war is obscene.
A small tax on each sale or purchase of stock makes sense. It may reduce the volume of trades made by day traders, helping to stabalize the market and raise revenue to reduce the public dept. Allowing the Bush tax cuts to sunset makes sense too.
"you guys" who call yourselves conservative don't get it; you want your cake and to eat it too.

It is a global economy.

We have no authority or power to tax GLOBALLY. Further slap tariffs on our trading partners and guess what? They return the favor.

I get it, we can pay taxes to every country in the world, after we set this precedent.
That is ok by you. Taxation without representation is ok by wrycatcher because his democrap party is for it.
Partisan bullshit is killing this country.
The fact of the matter is that the "you guys" that voted to go to Iraq was both parties, the vote was very bipartisan.
Will the vote to tax the world be bipartisan as well?
Be careful when setting new precedents to trap your political opposition, history has shown that those same tactics can and will be used against you.

As an aside....does anyone else think it might be a good idea to "tax the world" to help offset the costs of being the "world's police"?

It is an oped piece based on a bill introduced into the house. Most of the media seems to be ignoring it.
I see your input is such a waste of a post.......
