gen3flygirl Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 I am pretty sure we are some where around 1 trillion in debt and China owns a bit of that so sure, I am all for this, take all the money from the rich nations and give it to us!

ironbuttwannabe Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) Hmmm let's not try to fix our economy, but try to fix others. Doesn't make much sense.How to fix part of the economy 101. Stop ethanol production. Don't let china buy any of our crops. Stop letting outside investors buy crops that don't raise crops.

ironbuttwannabe Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Ethanol production is fine, but there should be no government subsidies on it.Take a look at corn prices, soon your meat willcost a lot more. Or at least I hope it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 The UN already requested that the USA and others cease ethanol production, since it raises the price of food crops that are exported to nations that have to import food. There's only about 5 nations in the world that actually export more food than they import.We probably already give a lot more aid than this tax. I'm not sure why the tax is necessary. When direct aid is given to most countries, they prefer cash, not food. You can imagine why. Food actually has to be given (or sold) to the people. Cash never makes it to the people.It's still all about money and power. But a request for a global tax only appears to be those with power working on taking money for their own purposes.

CattaniAFJ Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 I can't believe you think it is even a remotely good idea for Obama to encourage this type of bullshit when this country is in the state it is in currently.In a letter to G-20 leaders, Obama didn't explicitly address the debate on the Robin Hood tax.But he encouraged the world leaders to pursue policies that will help poorer nations. "Finally, we should advance our cooperation to address common global challenges," he wrote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
