I get your point. I disagree. There is a difference.

but how can you equate taxing all 'big' banks/thrifts etc, with the FACT that most (minus 2) have paid back all or most with PROFIT....why would this or anyother admin want to raise another tax on the people when most of the money to the PRIVATE banks has been repaid....funny how I dont see the administration looking to put this kind of tax on fanny/freddy (you know barney franks slush fund)
Because they are also responsible for the economic downturn. They don't just owe Americans the TARP money. They owe much, much more.

yet you call BOA irrisponsible yet they have already paid back over 50%
Yes, they are irresponsible. They took on billions of dollars worth of bad loans. That is irresponsible. BOA executives were more worried about the day-to-day stock fluctuations than long-term, sustainable growth. They still are. Wall Street is still playing its game, using computer models to make profit out of nothing.
This tax will help to decentralize bank deposits. I'm all for decentralization. That makes it more difficult for Wall Street to screw us.

btw I have two banks
one is a community bank...but it will get hit with the tax
the other is Andrews Federal Credit Union, it wont
my path is very clear, I retire with 2 pensions in 5 years at the ripe old age of 56, and I am moving to Panama. which have very low taxes and my pension will not be taxed at all. I have already bought a house.

I hope you won't be filling out any absentee ballots. The fewer baby boomers that vote, the better. It's time for your generation to step aside. Baby boomers have screwed up the country enough, already.
President Ercle will probably not only get all the money back but he might even get more by changing the rules to suit his wants. Big deal.
Ercle borrows money by signing your kids name to the note, gets paid back and then some but instead of paying back the obligation, he spends it on himself.
And we are supposed to thank him for this? I would rather not.

obama's plan has about as good a chance as our banking "czar" recovering the bonuses. (which did not happen by the way)
maybe obama should have looked the bailout bill over before he voted for it in the first place. that would have been a good time to bring up any objections. just saying.....
So things are lookin better on Wall Street are they? Forecasts all rosy...are they? If that's so then how come the Oba-jerk is screamin' at Wall Street..,
"We want our money back, and we're going to get it."
What's with the WE...all of a sudden? Doesn't that strike you as a bit strange and out of character? We suggests that WE ARE committed to something together. Not so. Usurping this form of government was not what the American people voted for. WE didn't want that! Drop the WE act Oba-doofus. It's only applicable when the people say WE have had enough of YOU!
It's because his health care mess is in trouble and he's about to be embarrased up in Massachusetts tonight and he finally senses the groundswell of rage that is gathering up in this country to envelope him, so he's bein' cute and wants to be one of us. Hell! he was always so far above us until now. HA!
He wants to make it 'appear like' he's the champion of WE The People goin' after the big, bad greedy capitalists who stole their money. Not quite true though. Oh the Goldman-Sachs and the rest of the greed Street engineers along with their Oba-buddy demonRATic political henchman stole away our resources alright, but he...Obama, gave them OUR MONEY as I recall.
Y' see this is the warmup to draggin' his favorite whipping boy, Little Georgie-boy Bush up to try to shift ALL THE BLAME on him for the mess that the Oba-jerk only claims he inherited.
Now wait on there Oba-goofus! You can't have it both ways. You knew the mess you had when you ran for the Office and now , when first the goin' gets rough you're looking to blame Bush...AGAIN? Give America a break..will ya!
Holy Moley folks. This clown, if he's anything is at least consistent.
I can hear that old Oba-refrain now...
Whine, whine whine. Da fault ain't mine.
Whine, whine whine. Da fault ain't mine.
Chorus:
Whine, whine whine. Da fault ain't mine.
Will it ever end...

Actually, it has a much better chance since it would be a tax.

This is flawed logic. The state of Wall Street is not the issue, it's the tactics used by Wall Street, tactics that provide no tangible economic benefit, but cause harm to middle and lower class Americans.

He may not speak for you, but he does speak for a lot of people. Not everyone is so ideologically aligned as you. Some people are just trying to make it, and they're angry at the banks...and for good reason.
