How many transactions would move overseas? There would be a great profit in setting up offshore accounts or offshore mutual funds. Even if I have to pay the tax to buy the mutual fund, all transactions inside the fund will be tax free. If this tax passes the just shut down Wall Street except as a place to distribute advertising brochures for London's, Cayman Islands', or even communist Hong Kong's stock markets.

Why, it’s just a pittance, a mere annoyance. Those Wall Street fat cats should be doing more to help pay for their past sins anyway. /s/

I’m surprized we haven’t heard about a federal real estate transfer tax too. (So many taxes, just not enough time to pass them all.)

Last night on Bob Brinkers "Money Talk" he said, "The latest assault on samll business owners is the increase in Medicare payment for self employed from 5.9 to 10%." He continued, "Now if you add the 15% social security and the soon to be 39% highest income bracket you have the following - 39+10+15 that is s big hit to the people who are the primary job creators."
When do you think a few people will start to scream about this on the news? Brinker also said, "If you live in a high state tax state - say Calif - then that 64% goes to over 70%."

Folks, remember to tax those that enabled the one. In this case, lets kill NYC and State. They so love socialism that they really can’t argue they should not tax their only golden goose to pay for all that equality of result they want. Lets tax the sh*t out of NY, in the name of bammycare. All hail the dear reader.

I love it when the government assumes stuff. Trading won’t go away? HA! Smokers won’t quit? HA! You’d think that the nut cases would take just a few minutes to look at history before they institute new taxes!
