Robin Hoods and Merry Bands...coming to a city near you!

Eight years ago, on February 15, 2003, upwards of 15 million people in sixty countries marched together to stop President Bush from invading Iraq ... a huge chunk of humanity lived for one day without dead time and glimpsed the power of a united people's movement. Now we have an opportunity to repeat that performance on an even larger scale.

On October 29, on the eve of the G20 Leaders Summit in France, let's the people of the world rise up and demand that our G20 leaders immediately impose a 1% #ROBINHOOD tax on all financial transactions and currency trades. Let's send them a clear message: We want you to slow down some of that $1.3-trillion easy money that's sloshing around the global casino each day -- enough cash to fund every social program and environmental initiative in the world.

Take this idea to your local general assembly and join your comrades in the streets on October 29.

We need a TAX on HIGH FREQUENCY TRADING, NOT CURRENCY TRADES. Currency is all of the money. They are gambling with FAKE MONEY. I don't trust Robin Hoods that travel on tour buses in clip in :37 seconds. Its a Deception like Carbon Tax.

Quote : all financial transactions and currency trades.

its the Derivatives and Fiat Money. End the fed for realz b4 we get something we don't want.

The Robin Hood Tax is one of several ideas on how to tax Wall Street style speculation in a way that will both generate money that can be used to invest in people and (in a small way) put a brake on the Wall Street casino.

This will not build a new economy that puts people before corporations, end racism and discrimination, or fix the global economy. But ideas like the Robin Hood Tax will give us the breathing room to take back our democracy and build an economy that works for everyone.

we need to change government itself. it says it in our constitution that we do not only have the rite but we have the duty to remove and replace a government that is not looking out for its people's interest.

And this "core" you speak of is what, exactly?
