Pelosi: Wall Street Tax Must Be International

Reuters: Any tax imposed on financial transactions would have to take effect internationally to keep Wall Street jobs and related business from moving overseas, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday. "It would have to be an international rule, not just a U.S. rule," Pelosi said at a news conference. "We couldn't do it alone, we'd have to do it as an international initiative."

Nancy the Baltimore Brawler wants to go international, like the mafia. Powercrazed granny wants to make the world an offer it can’t refuse. Meanwhile in California her university student supporters are whining because they’re being taxed for tuition.

America…yet another ploy by the “mentally unstable” Democratzi to give further control of our finances over to the Bilderberg Society which wants to take America down and usher in the New World Order!

When are Americans going to wake up to realize these “mentally unstable” Democratzi are just that…mentally challenged!

The Bilderberg Society owns Geithner, Obama, Rockefeller, Paulson, Bernanke, both Clintons, both Bushes and possibly even Governor Perry who attended one of their secret meetings!

America…this is a farce and Congress needs to wake up!

Are there any patriotic men/women in Congress that will stand up and against this agenda against our Republic?

Stand up and be counted…”real” Americans are…why not you!

You in Congress have the ability to rid America of these devious, diabolical party of socialists hell bent on destroying us from within!

This is just another step for them to give over control of our economy to the Bilderberg International Society of financiers, bankers and world leaders of other countries!

Put Bilderberg Society into your search engine and/or the Obama Deception and get informed on who these maniacs are and what they have planned for America…if we do not stop it!

Well, if you hadn’t bankrupted the nation to build every OTHER nation in the world (allowing their parasitic “students” into our universities, lowering tariffs to nothing, allowing offshoring, etc….) you wouldn’t have to be concerned about this, would you? This is long overdue – it would be the best tax I’ve ever seen – it would actually solve the enormous problem of the market used as a gambling device and Goldman-Sachs ripping off the country with their trading software.

TulsaMark   November 19th, 2009 - 10:17 pm

Pelosi, if any such law is passed, it is all out war against you! Pelosi
is suggesting an absolute tyranny with such a law. Are we not a free people
or are we getting ready to be enslaved by the lib Democrats! It’s war !!!

Terry   November 19th, 2009 - 10:30 pm

That’s it, TulsaMark, continue to be hoodwinked by the Goldman-Sachs crowd getting their multi-million dollar bonuses. What have they produced to earn that money? What they do is no different than robbing banks with a gun. Best way to rob a bank is to own one…and then the tax payers get to make up the difference. You are being fleeced and you still don’t seem to get it.

Terry you are woefully ignorant.

People from states that are bankrupt should not be allowed to speak.

Pretty much everything they do is wholly unconstitutional. These childish leftists b!tch about the Patriot Act, yet they want government to engulf everything and control each and every individual. And still – no one in high office has the balls to pull out our founding documents and call these devils on it. These matters should be deferred to the Supreme Court and the Constitution enforced.

Veritas   November 19th, 2009 - 11:15 pm

RED FLAG!!!! One world government would be required for this to work! That is why we have in the past been against it. Trouble is these “useful idiots” think that if they sell us all out, they will have positions of power in the New World Order! They are wrong, but they don’t believe it!

Hey, we all have to pay for car insurance, so this tax should be international.

I wish to hell, those in the Bay area would vote this hag out of office.

TulsaMark   November 20th, 2009 - 1:29 am

The bail-outs were wrong. TARP was wrong. We have a system called bankruptcy
in our country, and the libs and Obama pounced on the recession to justify
bail-outs and then take-over of many of our banks. Then they went to the auto
industry. People who decry the bonuses should look at the piles of money
plundered by the heads of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. But penalizing the people,
and U.S. companies, who decide to leave because the U.S. is undermining their ability to do
business…well, that’s wrong. It’s enslavement. Pelosi also wants to subjugate
the U.S. military to International bodies and treaties (e.g. Treaty of the Seas).
The U.S. is the last stand for real freedom. Obama wants to take us
down to the depths of misery and statism similar to countries espousing socialist systems.
As Mel Gibson yelled in Braveheart: “ARE WE NOT FREE?! WILL YOU FIGHT FOR
YOUR FREEDOM?!”

Actually, we aren’t forced to drive a car…well, not yet.

You know what really sucks. I love this country. My Great Grandfather fought alongside Washington and was killed in the war in 1782. He never lived long enough to see his boyhood friend become the President. I tried to live my live as I thought he’d want me too. I was lucky enough to be self-employed my entire life so far, and my job has taken me all over the world. If these people destroy our country, where do we go?

Talkers All   November 20th, 2009 - 3:42 am

Lots of big talk but will anything happen in 2010? I doubt it. A few will get the boot but enough to matter, not likely. They may be fools but they are our fools is still the norm. Good example is John Murtha, leftist dimocrat sc um that got reelected in Penn after accusing Marines in Iraq of being murderers, none of whom were convicted. Once they are in office it takes a miracle to remove them.

Dan   November 20th, 2009 - 6:25 am

Can someone do a poll on this woman? Is she totally financially incompetent? Deliberately trying to destroy American Capitalism and replace it with Marxism? She’s incapable of keeping her mouth in sync with her brain and the mouth is winning? Or has the amount of plastic in her surpassed the maximum allowed and is now controlling the mouth?

father_moray   November 20th, 2009 - 6:58 am

Nancy “Musolini” Pelosi, fascist thief stealing her and hubbies’ multi-millions from insider govt. carpetbagging…this moron needs an enema. All the democrats do. If they try to pass the Constitution-Killing Healthcare RipOff…they will start a revolution. They won’t like Gitmo for the Holidays.

Justine   November 20th, 2009 - 7:28 am

Okay Nancy, you get right on that. I suggest you tax the companies in other countries 10X as much as the companies here are taxed. Send all the money back here, we sure could use it. Thanks.

Someone from another post referred me to a site called http://www.Dearpolitician.org to write my politicians. The site is really cool in the fact that it automates everything and you can write your President, Vice President, Senators, and Congressman. The really interesting parts are that you can write complete Senate and Congressional committees. After you write what you want to say in the body of the template, you can print them off and mail them yourself or you can have Dearpolitician.org fax them to their offices instantly for FREE. If you want your letters delivered today, go to that site! Just passing along a cool site!

Rexter   November 20th, 2009 - 9:20 am

This is where Conservatives (real ones, not the imposter neocons) and Liberals can agree. When you buy something at the store you pay a tax but the already too powerful investment banks don’t pay anything while they wreck the market with their costly speculation. Maybe we need a mandate that people buy a stock and hold it for at least a year. Don’t like it? Blame those who ruined it for everyone – not those trying to address the situation.

Fox4Me   November 20th, 2009 - 9:20 am

One thing I’ve noticed…

Supporters for these Leftwing nutjobs like Piglosi and Oyourmama are few and far between here on BB now. Where are they?

You know they haven’t given up. Maybe they’re off taking a refresher course on how to be utterly stupid and idiotic.

This community village idiot has to go! You know all these James Bond movies were right in assuming that there’s people out there that reallywant to take over the world, but instead, it’s more like a Dr. Evil episode from Austin Powers…

This elastic dog has to go!!!

Ooops, spoke too soon.

Rexter’s still here and spouting his idiocy.

I’m sure you’d love to tax the bigboys in the investment world, but there are lot of mom & pops out there that would have to pay that investemnt tax too….either out of their own pocket, or from their account with any stock/bond trading accounts, IRA’s, SEPs, etc., handled by a financial planner for them.

And, hold a stock for a year after purchase? DUMB DUMB DUMB. I want you to invest YOUR money into the latest stock tip you got from one of your buddies at the local watering hole, and then watch it tank for a year before you can dump it.

How long and How many bad reports before
we learn the lesson – We need to form opposable non violent
coalitions Using Obama’s own words that can
move policies for real… http://www.bailoutmainstreetnow.com this will take some hard work
but people have to start by adding positive contributions
so that we can effect real change

People who want to do something positive –
http://www.bailoutmainstreetnow.com – Channel your energies in a positive way. Here are some suggestions, build a web page, phone your congressman, attend meetings in your local area with like minded people to form or support freedom coalitions, email your local representatives, call Washington, have group viewings videos that have verified information pertaining to amendment rights… http://www.bailoutmainstreetnow.com

They wouldn’t be harmed much. Goldman-Sachs has computers that anticipate prices going up and down and buy and sell accordingly. They are just skimming money out of the system – not doing anything for it.

“And, hold a stock for a year after purchase? DUMB DUMB DUMB. I want you to invest YOUR money into the latest stock tip you got from one of your buddies at the local watering hole, and then watch it tank for a year before you can dump it.”

May as well call it gambling or a lottery if that is what you think of the market, then. Investments are made in enterprises with research and forethought – not some seedy “tips” (insider trading – that’s illegal too for a REASON.)

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   November 20th, 2009 - 6:13 pm

Dear claspur at 12:54 pm…their lack of exposing the Bilderberg is understandable due to their national position and not wanting to take a position on any one item!

The Bilderberg Society is a reality…they know that…but are limited in the amount of exposure they can give it!

That is why I was so very pleased when reading the “Politico” one day…and saw the word…Bilderberg…and there it was about their secret meeting this year in Greece!

Even Politico is especially careful…and this was a stretch for them to report it…but they did and I am so proud of them! However, I have never seen anything since then, either!

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0509/22957.html

http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/NWO/Bilderberg-Participants-2009.htm

The above I hope still works…because it was from May 2009!

Don’t be discouraged…what is hidden is always revealed and the more the insanity of the Democratzi is revealed…the more will come out about their Puppetmasters…the Bilderberg Society seeking to usher in the New World Order!

I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. Unsuccessful rebellions, indeed, generally establish the encroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions as not to discourage them too much. It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government.
