They (we) are already taxed as regular income. If you think it's so easy, go be one. - fuller schmidt Tue, 20 Jul 2010 07:34:17 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/imf-and-the-european-union-support-larger-deficit-in-hungary-to-help-banks#comment-1575 Is this why the recently-passed FinReg bill here in the U.S. failed to tax bank profits or slap a tax on financial transactions - because our economic Wizards are afraid of the IMF? Or maybe it's because our Wizards share the views of the IMF and don't give a damn about sending the "wrong signal" to the vast majority of the people of this country who don't work on Wall Street. Well, we're getting the message. - Queen of Sheba Mon, 19 Jul 2010 08:56:49 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/imf-and-the-european-union-support-larger-deficit-in-hungary-to-help-banks#comment-1574 actually, i would say the imf has been consistent throughout it's lifespan in imposing fiscal austerity on mostly third world countries, which was ok because when they sink into poverty for the masses (the investors expatriate their profits), nobody cares- well see how well the imf policies are welcomed when they work their magic on first world economies (japan, anyone?) - frankenduf Mon, 19 Jul 2010 07:12:01 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/imf-and-the-european-union-support-larger-deficit-in-hungary-to-help-banks#comment-1573 Hey Dean, what are your thoughts on the feud between Elizabeth Warren and Timothy Geithner? These are two high profile people with radically differen philosophies, similar to Rumsfeld and Powell Geithner, a disciple of Summers, Rubin, and Greenspan, is an advocate for the free market being faultless and anything we do to police it only does more damage than good. Warren is one that believes corporate greed and arrogance is self destructive for unregulated companies and also destroying the people in this country by creating a two-class system. Geithner wants to hide bank losses and Warren wants to expose them This is some real reporting at work here http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-r-talbott/the-real-reason geithner_b_650403.html And it is an issue that will shape the future of bank regulation in the U.S. for some time to come. - Chad Mon, 19 Jul 2010 07:10:02 +0100
