Tobin tax is just unfair because trading is a zero sum game. No money is created during trading. It moves from 1 pocket to te other. Even a small tax of 0.1% of the underlying value would cause complete market caps of companies to be drained from the market in only a few years of trading. If all shares of a company are traded during a trading day then 0.1% of the entire market cap of that company leaves the market. In 10 days 1% in 3 years 100%. This money leaves the markets.

Humor, like beauty, is where you find it.

I find it ironic that many who decry a dangerous world are willing to spend so little on international institutions for conflict resolution. Increased funding for the UN could be made contingent on increased democratization; see unpacampaign=dot=org

Down with the UN! NO GLOBAL GOV'T that is NOT of the people! NO TOBIN TAX! Rot in hell Tobin!  The UN is NOT about peace, but rather about control (via world slavery) and WAR.

Am I paranoid? No. Ask me for the info. I can prove it and will.

How do you propose to solve problems beyond the capability of a national government to control (nuclear weapons, environmental degredation, etc)?

How do you feel about national collective action through the US Federal government even though there are state governments to manage state issues?

Are you nuts? Once we start to give money to the UN, they become our masters. That is their purpose anyway, but most don't understand that yet. The UN is NOT the USA. Please learn about economic principles before you believe what you said. The UN will misuse the money, just like our gov't here in the US.
