		<description>I agree, the tax is unlikely to get passed.  I was just using it as a hook to dredge up the outrageous trading practices of Goldman, which is otherwise old news.</description>

		<description>===========
As long as the IMF/BIS G20 structure is ignored by myopic imperial analysis the longer the imperial colonialization of the world’s people will be allowed to continue. US real economy is collapsing, but the IMF power structure is exploding in strength and veracity.
===========

Whenever power structures become too concentrated, they become very subseptible to internal manipulations.

Concentrated power structures have more soft human targets that are weak within them ... as even in concentrated power structures you have to look to the core not the edges.

The edges of the IMF / World Bank / Major Central Banks are in recessionary times as weak as water ... 

Anyway, this is what any Security Intelligence 101 uni course would teach as essential basic organizational fact.

I expect disentagration before integration, as the edges of these organizations are filled with people who are not fully profiting from the current arrangements.</description>

		<description>Its utterly silly to think any of these &#039;progressive&#039; proposals will work. Its like trying to give Frankenstein a nose job. Not only will it not change a thing but it would never be allowed and if by some miracle it was legislated Goldman and the larger Pigmen would simply find a loophole. Look into that man&#039;s face. The little squirrel with the ferret-like eyes. Blankfein. Do you think a character like that could not find a loop within a loop within a loop if it meant saving a few 10 spots for his bloated pig-wife, the one who is a shopaholic and spends her time touring Guici and Tiffany. Please. 

The entire system is well rotted to the core. It requires a political solution. Any legislation given the system, makes it seem legitimate and defuses the necessity for political change. Like picking thru a steaming pile of dog fece, removing some rodent hair from it and then tossing it into the evenings pot of rigatoni. It ain&#039;t gonna work. 

Unless Blankfein and hundreds of other Pigmen are marched into jail like they would have been just 25 years ago during the Savings and Loan &#039;crisis&#039;, there will never be any change. Change comes with fear. Its very funny and ironic actually since at their core all of these banksters are cowards. They would rat on their own mothers if accused and indicted. The whole scam would come unraveled. They have found theiving so easy and done it with such impunity that there metal has never been tested. Once tested though the entire edifice would implode quickly. But not with Hopey. He&#039;s the grand pimp and enabler. We are still far from political change though we are ever closer to civil unrest and the first real change out of that will be far right back lash, not any progressive movement whatsoever.</description>

		<description>So simple its like taking candy from a baby...

Goldman Sachs Is ‘Far Simpler’ Than Rivals, CEO Blankfein Says 

Blankfein said that the New York-based firm’s change to a bank under the supervision of the Federal Reserve means that “there are dozens of people who work for the New York Fed who come to work in our offices every day” to provide a check on the company’s businesses. He said regulatory changes haven’t altered any of those activities, such as principal investing or commodity trading, that the firm engages in.

		<description>Was Goldman Sachs doing Gods work with an HFT contrived rally in the market to avoid a World War for
our National Security ? Good Lord... I got a hold of a bad mushroom. ...

when Paulson testified before Congress he was obviously telling half truths ...
So when it came to light that his actions were to prevent martial law in the USA,
if we start from thinking that is a half truth ... am wondering if had the banks failed would that have been the trigger for a World War ... and if true 
once the FED/Treasury/Wall Street stabilized the market to induce the rally we have seen since march ... was this course of intervention taken and viewed as justified, although clear manipulation, as a matter of so called National Security ?

IS that the reason that Congress appears to be out of step with the people ...  keepingits citizens from getting answers ...  cause as we know ... we live with the luxury of not knowing the truth ... LOL ... cause we cant handle the truth ...
Dont ever question the manner in which  your freedom is provided ... we free to do as you we are told

I need to go for a hike today and breath some fresh air.</description>

		<description>&quot;Defeat of an imperial power need not come via war, but neglected infrastructure brought on by corruption. In the bigger picture, the US will be far more defeated than the USSR.&quot;

@BillStewart:
As long as the IMF/BIS G20 structure is ignored by myopic imperial analysis the longer the imperial colonialization of the world&#039;s people will be allowed to continue.  US real economy is collapsing, but the IMF power structure is exploding in strength and veracity.</description>

		<description>This is pure insanity. I am sick of people applying poor logic. The HFT issue can be dealt with without a Tobin Tax. The side affects would be worse than the cure. Another camels nose under the tent for bureaucrats to steal and redistribute wealth.


Ugh, take a legit issue and apply the wrong solution. 


Our transit company always wants more funding to increase buses. Of course, they heavily tax drivers to subsidize the system and claim that the drivers benefit from less traffic and congestion. Makes sense, but entirely false. We had a 3 month transit strike. Prior to the strike, I had a 45 minute commute into town. Guess what, the commute time dropped to 25 minutes without the buses. The buses added to the congestion, everyone adjusted and they weren&#039;t as needed as they had thought.


The road to hell is paved with good intentions.</description>
