Imagine that. Latvia's debt to GDP ratio is now falling.
So, you come to your conclusion from the word "Argentina" in the title, instead of what was actually stated in the blog post. Got it.

I can hear it already.."We need to put a small tax on those wealthy Americans in order to save the middle class". And then *poof*..a tax on deposits at some given min amount.

And it will eventually hit those that it wasn't supposed to.

Look at AMT..that tax on the rich that permeated into the middle class.

But the idiots in this forum can care less about this stuff, it's way above there comprehension level.

I was going through the threads and every subject is really stupid, not even worth responding to.
I hope I live long enough to watch the Hollywood elite with mouths open crying when their accounts are raided....it can happen here.

I guess rape is not violence in some people's minds.

Actually, no, that’s a right-wing fantasy about what liberals believe. We don’t want to punish the rich nor do we believe they are evil. We just want them to pay more taxes. You can favor redistribution without indulging in class hatred; it’s only the defenders of privilege who try to claim otherwise.
