Nothing wrong with exploring both sides of the FTT tax....Fact is this tax, if implemented, would result in both pros and cons in the world economy....What really needs to be determined is do the pros outweigh the cons or vice versa...Common sense?...Only if one fully understands the FTT and all of its' implications....One must also realize why it is, once again, being revisited... From everything I can gather the biggest hold outs are America and Asia...If EU is ready to go with FTT I say let them...Pizz on global, let them stick their neck out and put yet another tax in place that will ultimately be passed on to the consumer, the little guy...That is what far lefties do not want to acknowledge....One reason they don't is because when you have nothing to tax you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.......They just see it as leveling the playing field...They love to make the claim that the big money comes from crooked play and not hard work which is total bullchit... EU doesn't need global agreement to put FTT in place any more than they needed global agreement to enact stamp duty tax....The same principal could apply to FTT...Wouldn't matter where the trade took place if it was backed by a EU asset, it would be taxed... IMO, one thing really worth thinking about is this...It would be a much better idea to correct "how" tax dollars are being spent before we start screaming for more....

Hello Con...Here is the last paragraph from a great article from "The American Thinker" The bureaucrats and lawyers who regulate charities tend to be big-government statists who disrespect private property and other constitutional rights. They are ruining private philanthropy. Conservatives, I suggest, should not aid them. We should fight them, and return private philanthropy to where it belongs. http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/02/bullying_statists_are_destroying_private_philanthropy.html

There is no one you can trust. No one. Not the bankers, not the lawyers, not bureaucrats who regulate charities, not government ..... NO ONE. I think we finally agree on something.

This is why we will never agree on anything political Jeannie... .05% isn't going to hurt those fat cats one bit. If handled right it could help a lot of people who are losing their homes or need shelter or food. Saying that there is no one who could honestly handle it right is not putting a lot of faith into the system you support. For the bankers to act like that small amount is going to hurt them is ridiculous. They can't possibly be that greedy. But alas, they are. It would not be that big of a loss to them. To think that they would use it as an excuse to turn around and tax the people again, is not putting enough faith in the very system that you support. You fear them so you simply let them have what ever they want. It is a pitiful thing with the people bend over and submit to being screwed because they are afraid of what might happen if they don't. That's what the New World Order people love to see. People who fear them. That's what they work on every day. More power over the people's very survival.

There is no "THEY?" THEY control the food production in this country. THEY control the trucking industry that delivers the food. THEY control the energy. THEY control the banks. THEY CONTROL YOU.
