In order to pay for Obama new bank tax, banks are considering a .05 fee for EVERY transaction.

How can Congress be so stupid???

Raise the capital requirements of the banks - that will even cut down on some of the bonuses.

Does the idiocy going on in Washington these days actually SURPRISE anyone anymore??

It's all Bushes fault.
If you have to pay it, pay it to a local bank.

I think its part of the problem the fat cows aren't afraid of the government, so they just flip them off instead of complieing with the law they just keep driving their trucks threw the poorly written laws.
of course they have paid a lot of cash for those holes .

Whats the difference between libs and conservatives? Absolutely nothin!!!!! Just whoever is spending the money the other side *******...NEITHER ONE CAN BALANCE A CHECK BOOK!!!!!!

Ironically, the banks that did not get ANY Tarp funds but will fall victim to Obama's bank tax plan for recouperating Tarp funds are the ones proposing the new transaction fee. Those banks are now calling it the "Robin Hood" tax. Any tax ALWAYS gets passed on to the consumer.

5 cents? OMG,, what is the world coming too...lol

trust that the banks will ALWAYS have hidden fees and new fees, regardless of who is president at the time...


what they WONT be doing anymore,, thanx to the current administration, is raising interest rates across the board for people who are late on payments.

i.e. if you are late paying BOB, it no longer gives BILL, JOE, JOHN, and ROB the right to raise your interest....

I will pay the five cents in return for THAT progress anyday.

You'd be surprised how many wealthy fatcats would gripe about a nickel per transaction.
