The Robin Hood Tax: Occupy Movement now Marching Straight Off the Globalist Cliff

Just what will they do when the "rich" like Bono and Dah Boys & Girls are no longer rich and are just as poor as they are?

Much of the problem with those in the occupy whatever movement is that they turn their noses up at whatever jobs are available or they spent a hundred thousand dollars on some glamor degree that qualifies them to do not much of anything and demand a big starting salary while they do it.

The ones screaming about their student loans are not the medical and nursing school kids....they are the ones that just had to go out of state and/or to an expensive private school and just kept taking out loans.

How many of the skipped spring break trips and lazy summers?

How many of the rest of them just dropped out of HS because it was "too hard" or they were too drugged up to even know where the school was? How may of them are using the protests as a way to cut out of school or work now?

Times are tough right now. My depression era parents would be appalled at things have changed compared to the soup kitchens of their day and people taking whatever job was around. My grandfather used to say if the only job is digging ditches, then you dig ditches.

Plenty of illegals still have jobs...doing lawn work and cleaning toilets and working in kitchens and working in the fields picking crops. All the jobs that no one in the protesting crowd would ever do.

Instead, they demand the money of everyone else, many of whom started out in life doing those kinds of jobs.

The 99 percenters at Occupy Wall Street are hoping their European counterparts can pressure G20 leaders this weekend into adopting what they call a Robin Hood tax on financial transactions. But it faces some hefty opposition.

The Robin Hood tax, sort of like a Tobin tax, was proposed by Germany as a means to raise revenue for countries hit hard by the 2008 housing and credit markets crash. Yet, the estimated 1% transaction tax would have to be global in nature for it to work, and countries as diverse as the UK and Russia are against it.

The tax is being proposed for members of the EU only, but there is a push to make it global.

This week, Russia’s assistant to the president, Arkady Dvorkovich, said taxes were for individual countries to decide, not international institutions. “We don’t need taxes on transactions and banks,” he said in a radio interview on the Voice of Russia. “We have other (revenue) opportunities like high taxes on oil and gas sector and some raw material producers. This is enough. If other parties want to impose transaction taxes let them do it.”

The middle-class or struggling shopkeepers are PART of the 99 percent. The occupy movement is aimed at the banks. The corporate media smears the real message.

The Robin Hood tax has been supported by some 350 economists in a letter written to the G20, including Joseph Stiglitz and Jeffery Sachs. Politicians supporting the tax include Angela Merkel, Nicolas Sarkozy and Katsuya Okada, Japan's foreign minister. According to a press release by the lobbying organization, support has been forthcoming from the financial sector by prominent figures including George Soros, Warren Buffett and Lord Turner, chairman of the UK’s Financial Services Authority.

if Buffett and Soros are in support of it.. it's probably considered a 'done deal' by tptb..

In San Francisco they call it The Robin Hood: Men in Tights Tax

99% of the 99% want nothing to do with the Occupy freaks

To all you American's out there...in the global scheme of things...take a wild guess who the rich are? That’s right, YOU!

We already know what a fair and bang up job government does in the form of taxation. Just look around. What ISN'T taxed? If we surrender our sovereignty and go with this scheme it will become a slippery slope where our money will be then taken and redistributed all over the world...in Global banker’s pockets.

Good job America (if you idiots actually go along with this)! Thanks for screwing my kids!!

I'd like to know how some 20-something barely out of college and out of their parent's basement hippie pukes is sick of all this stuff already when they've maybe paid attention to the world for all of 5 or 6 years.
