Liberals: Do you agree with Pelosi when she calls for a tax on Stocks and bonds to fund more "stimulus"?

You can bet your bottom dollar that if they decide to do this the legislation will exclude members of congress from having to pay these taxes, just as they have excluded themselves from having to be on the same health care program that they are pushing down our throat.

Nancy Pelosi is filthy rich as is all of the people in congress, without the ability to exempt themselves why would they be so hell bent on raising the taxes on the rich, you would think that just the opposite would be true.

vote all of the corrupt bastards out of office.

It's interesting that Goldman Sacs making money on every transaction on any stock market if not mistaken. no wonder they are in such good shape, what a sweetheart deal. Well all those rich people wouldn't mind giving up a little since the poor smokers are coughing up an extra buck. If they will take advantage of someone hooked n drugs, no telling what they will odo.

Hey I just thought of another way she can raise cash. Before the taliban took over in Afghanistan the drug lords were exporting 4,500 metric tons of opium. This is not the poppie itself, but they score it now ad take the sap which cuts down on space by a ratio of ten to one. anyway the drug lord guys attacked two girls and the locals went ballistic and thus the Taliban were born and shot em up.

When they took over the opium production dropped to 190 metric tons*. As of 2007 reports state the tonnage is back up to 4,150 metric tons and a report of late states it is as high as 8,200 metric tons*.

So she could tax this as a product, as they have to send it to Turkey, Iran or Pakistan to refine it as they don't have the chemicals. the farmers make about $6,000 a year on average and state they produce it because of poverty (29%)* and expensive weddings (18%).

So she could tax the farmers and the drug lords. We must be dealing with them to stop the terrorist if production is that high, but heard illegal drugs fund terror* so go figure.

Interesting how the average Joe can google this and yet they don't even acknowledge it. maybe a tax after one abortion. the facts state that of the million plus abortions last year half were people getting a second or more one.

She could also tax playstations, porno and looks like air, now.

Happy Holidays.

There is an urgent need for revenue! Therefore we must tax anything that produces in the country. Anyone who opposes this will be labeled a racist. One of the Pillars of Communism! These people are all drunk with power and completely in violation of the Constitutional authority granted by the Enumerated Powers! This is a huge power grab. As Mr. Emmanuel stated, "never fail to take advantage of a crisis to advance your agenda". Look at the states where high taxes reign, they are going broke and losing jobs the fastest! The government cannot bail us out of this problem. More Government intervention cannot create a single meaningful job. This is a farce and a fraud!

Such a tax would essentially affect the day traders that run arbitrage schemes that sometimes destabilize the markets. A per transaction tax would have little effect on responsible trading for retirement savings and other common uses.

Most day traders, even VERY experienced ones, lose money compared to people who invest using time average purchases and other more time-honored techniques that involve risk proportionate to reasonable risk tolerance.

Essentially, it's a tax on irresponsible investment. That sounds like a good use of tax policy to regulate bad behavior, which is one of the fundamental differences between liberals and conservatives, so I'm not surprised that you oppose this, but to us liberals, it's a reasonable idea that's worth exploring (not necessarily implementing, you've got to carefully examine the consequences, but it's not dead in the water).

The left is in touch in a coup to take over our government. Its a bureaucratic coup. they have proclaimed that anybody who stands for constitutional regulation is their enemy and that they'll say and finally do something to get rid of them first by using destroying their credibility to a dumbed down society. Its what Hitler did. He first made human beings have self belief the Jews have been risky so as that they does no longer techniques while he stripped them of their citizenship, closed their companies, and finally killed them. Herbert Meyers, 2d in cost of the CIA interior the Reagan administration, suggested that's his commentary. I believe that assessment. i do no longer comprehend this u . s . anymore.

she has to find the source to fund her pet health care project

|You see, the way you have it all set up, ONLY THE BANKS have carte blanche power to make money.

And make money they did.

Under socialism- only the government has the power to make money.
