Title: Obamas finance team recommend a 1% transaction tax on all financial transactions
Post by: Aces High on July 31, 2011, 12:54:17 AM: Bill HR4646 introduced by Rep Peter deFazio and US Senator Tom Harkin D-Iowa.

Their plan is to sneak it in after the November election to keep it under the radar.

Any deposit or withdrawal you make will have a 1% tax charged, including ATM.
