Tobin tax - U.S.E. may survive
I never thought the day would come when the EU would favour a sensible idea like the Tobin tax. Merkel and Sarkozy are in favour of it, as am I.
Further, the Austrian Prime Minister Werner Faymann - along with many others - is in favour of the Tobin Tax as an important means for guaranteeing fairness. "Taxing financial transactions," said Werner Faymann, "is an important means for guaranteeing fairness also at a European level. Since the beginning of this crisis I have continuous devoted my self to this and I am sure the objective will be achieved."
IMO: I very much stress, as do the UK FT apparently, "When the details emerge, then the number-crunching can begin". The United States of Europe may yet survive.
