Long overdue that the bankers and traders (traitors?) pay out a miniscule amount of money to help the societies that provide them with the means for their very existence. When the banks are "too big to fail" they get the people's money, and when they're given money to loan out they raise the standards to such a degree it makes it very tough to get financed. So a combination of less govt spending (especially military) and taxing the financial traders makes a lot of sense, and dollars :-)
Yes but if you charge it over and over and over again on the same money being moved around..... well it looks like a huge amount.....or if you look at it as how much trading charges are going to increase (which u will pay for by the way) on all commerce it looks like a 500% increase in charges..... this video illustrates nothing.....ok it illustrates 0.05% LOL ... its a huge amount of money guys....gotta come from somewhere...do ya think !
@PlanPony1 The problem is the solvency of Greece, Ireland, Spain, and the other teetering European economies. Pulling out billionsssssss at this time is a nice way to try to push them over the edge.
Charitable organizations get nice donations. The fact that they're trying to coerce money to come to them from nearly collapsing economies by screwing around with the tax codes of entire countries is disgusting at best.
@ArmyFtBall Well I have three years economics training under my belt and ten years as an entrepreneur and I can't see a Macroeconomic problem with the proposed Robin Hood Tax.
But if you don't believe me why not read what Jeffrey Sacks, one of the most influential and well-qualified economists of our age, had to say in the Guardian: "The time has come to implement the Robin Hood tax."
really good video! Thanks for sharing :)

0.05% is a HUGE number. It's not even based on bank's profits. It's on doing business with pension fund transactions & what not.
If the number was so small, you wouldn't be advocating it.
It comes out to a HUGE amount of money. In fact, it would collect more in 1 year than Greece needs to solve all its problems.
Best to stick with movie making with simple subjects. Macroeconomics isn't your thing.

That's the point. A big problem needs a lot of energy put into it (oh the irony of that comment...)
