PES president urges for three-pronged EU strategy for G20_English_Xinhua

On the proposal for a global financial transaction tax, Rasmussen said a realistic proposal was already on the table for Europe's heads of government to consider, referring to a "workable proposal for a global financial transaction tax at the G20" made by German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Finance Minister Peer Steinbrueck.

"It's right that the financial markets should pay their fair share of the bailouts and recovery efforts," said the Dane, "Citizens shouldn't have to foot the bill."

He said the transaction tax "is now needed to finance long-term investments in the real economy."

In other words, they want money and they don't care where the source is... be it companies today or people tomorrow... they need to line their pockets with the threat of armies and weaponry... nice of governments, isn't it.... Their guises fools only sheep...

these globalists are going to try to find a way to get money from the people, whether the people want to give it or not!

just like cap and trade is a global tax (at least for the countries that submit to it), there is a movement to get global governance and world compliance. they want nothing more than an "orderly transition"!
