'Sense', if only it were common. Human beings are already being taxed on their labour, then taxed on their purchases. Entrusting bankers with their earnings, then being taxed on the paltry 'interest'. Participating blindly in a system or scheme that barely anyone comprehends. The Robin Hood Tax is simply a legitimate way, by the rules of the game, to take back some of our own earnings and then re-gift it to worthy causes.
as far as i was aware this is not a government funded project more like minded people from all walks of life banding together on something i think is a bloody good i idea yes I'm white yes I'm middle class yes I'm a lefty..no I'm not stupid...but your fucking paranoid mate
How do you know they are socialist scum they maybe just be fascist scum like you. Or maybe they are not be socialists at all. Just as you might not be fascist. They may not even be scum at all. Just as you may not be scum either. In fact I KNOW that neither they nor you are SCUM. Unless you meant to say Socialist SCAM...
Demanding mandatory donations via taxation is beyond nutty. Every idiot is going to demand taxes on everything under the sun for their own pet projects. This is a bad road to go down. Let people donate what they want to.
The Government is spending £millions of tax payers money to advertise this scam. Why??? To fool us. This tax will never be collected and with our country in all time high deficit, why send £billions out of the country anyway. IT'S ELECTIONEERING. SHOOT BANKERS; DON'T TAX THEM.
It's a propaganda job...the banks and the Government working together to fool the stupid people once again - and once again the stupid people (mostly white, middleclass liberal/left) will fall for it. Remember Blair, global warming and Obama...! they were bullshit too...weren't they...!
Why on earth have those 2 comments got thumbs downs? Google WTC7. If anyone can give me some rational answers as to why that building fell down I'd like to know. Bearing in mind that it was a 47 story steel framed building, one of only 3 that have ever collapsed due to the heat of fire (apparently). The other 2 were towers 1 and 2. Go figure. Oh, and WTC7 wasn't hit by a plane! ;)

Governments already put a tax on everything under the sun for their own pet projects, minus handling fees, administration costs, build a bigger government costs etc.

My congressman, Peter DeFazio suggested a similar tax back in Sept 09. Its a great idea and I wish more people had listened to him!
