I predict that if they keep on trying as they are with this POS, then they've created an atmosphere very like Madrid in 1936.
Sounds like the Stamp Act all over again.
This is going to piz a LOT of democrats off.
Spread the news.
I guess I’ll just transition over to cash and money orders.
Do you have a credible link to support this?
the ONLY reason this country hasn't succumbed to be a third world country is because MOST citizens obey laws and pay taxes....
that could end pretty quick...
I guess one thing to do is to increase your deductions so the govt doesn't get as much money thru out the year....
Per UrbanLegends.com:
It’s true (as of this writing) that there’s a bill in the House of Representatives (H.R. 4646: Debt Free America Act) which would impose a one percent tax on financial transactions if passed, and it’s also true that the bill was introduced by a Democrat (Rep. Chaka Fattah, Pennsylvania). However, the legislation has zero co-sponsors, nor has it even been acknowledged, let alone supported or endorsed, by the Obama administration. It is expected to go nowhere.
Rep. Fattah has introduced similar bills before over the past six years or so, obviously without success. In a September 2010 interview with Brooks Jackson of FactCheck.org, Fattah said no one at the White House has commented on the current House bill in any fashion.
Thank you, I was just about to start having hysterics. Isn’t there a policy on FR that “articles” are not posted that don’t have a reliable source? (Which I don’t think “email” is.) Unless they are specified as “vanity post”? This is serious stuff and people should verify. Our lives and freedoms are on the line in this next election.
Can business pass along this fee?
and remember the anger towards the ATM fees!
Interestingly, according to Wikipedia the bill also repealed the federal income tax.
Read where SNOPES was caught out on some untruths. SNOPES is backed by Soros and is run by a husband and wife team. There was something about Kagan and Obama they said was not true but come to find out it was. Had to do with dockets on the Supreme Court. And that thing about taxing bank deposits is an urban legend. See http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/barackobama/a/Obama-One-Percent-Transaction-Tax.htm
Will you ask the mods to delete your thread or shall we? Here’s the gun........
Well...I wants to know...how duz this affeck me? Will my EBT deposit, my EITC deposit, my AFDC deposit, my SCHIP depozit ekcetera get this heer taks? Huh? I reely wants to know....
Problem is, a lot of democrats just don't think logically about issues like this and tie it into Obama and the Democrat policies. Talk to them, and you will find they are painfully ignorant of the real world. "They are doing it to us!" Who is they? "Them Republicans!"
Seriously. The Left can and will spin this as the "Tea Party's fault" or the Republicans' fault, and people will actually believe it.
This is BS and shouldn’t be on FR. Just makes us look bad. This is an obscure bill that has been around since 2004 at least. It was proposed by a congressman that wanted to eliminate sales taxes, income taxes and others and replace it with a 1% transaction tax. It has NO sponsors other than the congressman that proposed it and would never get out of committee, much less pass the House. Let’s use our efforts to fight Obamacare, debt ceilings, spending, etc. etc. rather than waste our time with this crap.
Is there anything the government won’t tax?
Next they’ll be putting a tax on the taxes we pay!
Yes, True is “Mostly False” for the Hussein Head Mikkelsons.
They put out around 300 articles A DAY to support the fraud.
