So it's that time again when our taxes are reformed.

So are th going to consider a transaction tax this time?

I not, why not?

I see eruope is considering one.

Not much hope of that GST has already been ruled out and with an idiotic opposition as we have there will be no reform.

Put a tobin tax on all derivative andn currency transactions,then there willbe not need for bailouts our phoney counterfeiting loans by the Fed,IMF or the BIS.

I just thought this was worth repeating.

the joke is..we got a consumption tax
what we need is a transaction tax on the money market traders

ANY tax revieuw
SHOULD start off from the last revieuw

ken henry..where are you?

WHY IS IT SECRET?

why are we listening
to those who only want the tax moved from them
onto us

lest we forget the taxes we were prommised to go
still remain

yet other taxes..like taxing shares
or taxing the dead..their gone

or hopw about we smokers got our tax instantly..overnight
and the miners didnt get their at all

[they were under discussion long ago
the mining tax was pre the smokers tax
but we the later many..got our tax
and the select few..

well they got a nice free lunch
therev is good eating in the public part of these talk fests
but even better in the private backrooms where the real power talks

Europe,Australia and New Zealand already have transaction taxes. They are called, variously Value Added Tax and Goods and Services Tax.

The USA does not - but various states and cities have Sales Taxes, which do the same job but far more inefficiently.
