Huh? The tax is only against globalists? It won't hurt US citizens? How about if it takes our citizenship and sovereignty away and forces us into the global communism that everyone in the UN thinks is so cool?

Towards a Socially Responsible and Democratic System of Global Governance (Tobin Tax)

We are now witnessing the collapse of the fundamentalist liberal paradigm in the face of the obvious weakness of an unregulated capital market. It is essential that the world moves towards a socially just and socially responsible globalisation which secures a degree of equity both between and within countries. The requirement at this time is for the development at a supranational level, both regionally and globally, of those mechanisms of social policy that are no longer adequate if only existing at national level. The need is for:

· regional and global social redistribution
· regional and global social regulation
· regional and global social empowerment (of poor people and poor countries)

Globalists aren't my fellow countrymen. I could care less if the global commies tax the living hell outa them. Communism has been proven to be a failed economic system that collapses under the weight of its own tyranny. This tax is the first step towards that collapse -- it encourages each nation to be more self-sufficient and less involved in international trade (in order to minimize tax obligations). As usual, the commies don't understand the implications of the taxes they seek to impose -- they are self-defeating!!!

This is fine by me!!!
