AFL-CIO and dems push new Wall Street Tax
That's right, lets bring those evil fat cats down. How dare they make a profit.
The AFL-CIO, one of the Democratic Party’s most powerful allies, would like to assess a small tax — about a tenth of a percent — on every stock transaction.

Bottom line: too little time to find the money to buy votes with.
Looks like I'll have to go the old fashioned way of getting money by "stealing" it.
Its odd that out of all the hundred or so threads about new taxes and brownshirts, I have yet to see my taxes go up, and I have yet to see anyone rounded up...
Funny how that works. Maybe, just MAYBE, you guys are blindly buying propaganda. I know it is a far-fetched idea, considering you guys would NEVER buy into propaganda, or chain emails, or flat out lies...
When I see all the ridiculous stuff yall believe, and the gigantic leaps of bad logic yall take from one statement to conclude something entirely different, I am incredibly reassured to be on the other side of the political spectrum.
Yeah, blind leaps of faith like the AFL-CIO actually stating what was in the article. That is waaaaaay out there maaaaaaan.
And the cap and trade...a total myth!
Proposed taxes on the rich to fund the healthcare plan? Smoke and mirrors my friend. Stop listening to Rush and Hannity.
President Obama's budget, announced on February 25, 2009, calls for the Capital Gains Tax to be reverted to the 20% rate before the Sunset date of 2011. Or is that radical right-wing extremist spin?
Yep. I've apparently been listening to lies, rumors, and fishiness for some time now.
That CBO is a such a propoganda machine.
"The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the price hikes from a 15% cut in emissions would cost the average household in the bottom-income quintile about 3.3% of its after-tax income every year. That's about $680, not including the costs of reduced employment and output."<- WSJ article on cap and trade.
Bottom line, if they had their way, your taxes WOULD go up. You haven't had to pay them yet, because... well... I think you know...
I should be sending this post to flag@whitehouse.gov...
If it was still active, which it hasnt been for a while.
Yes but Obama gave us that little gem and it will stick around for a while
I use "that's above my pay grade" on a near-daily basis.
