On Wednesday, French President Francois Hollande told the U.N. General Assembly in New York, “Today we need to … introduce a tax on financial transactions – that has already been agreed to by several European states – so that the capital movements that profit from globalization can contribute to international development and the fight against pandemics.”

In Washington, meanwhile, current U.S. policy is traced to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, the former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, who has forcefully come out against the idea of an FTT. If Barack Obama wins another term in the November elections, however, Geithner has stated that he would step down from his current position.

“There’s a good chance there will be fresh thinking on FTT in the next administration,” Sarah Anderson, with the Institute for Policy Studies, a think tank here in Washington, told IPS. “Not only will there be new economic policy leaders coming in, but the international debate has changed dramatically since President Obama first took office.”

A judge has thrown out the arrests of 92 Occupy protesters last October as a violation of their First Amendment rights, slamming Mayor Rahm Emanuel - who had touted the city's handling of the protests - for selectively enforcing an overnight curfew and trying to "discriminate against defendants based on their views." Cook County Judge Thomas Donnelly noted Grant Park's long history as "the quintessential public forum," including for hundreds of thousands who gathered there in 2008 after Barack Obama was elected.

Those like you seem to forget that the Tea Party, while maybe feels closer to the GOP, is more of a small government anti Fed gov pro constitutional grass roots group

IF they do what you state here a very strong 3rd party will grow

In the end neither party today gives a rip about you or me. They only care about thier own power and riches. (just look at how fast Obamas wealth grew in the last three years. Along with many others in both parties)

As for occupy. This is a fake group that has its memebers paid for and bussed in by the likes of the SEIU. A group that hires people like you to get on forums like this and post the bs similar to your posts.

Occupy has been exposed for the fakes they are

And they have done it to themselves

"America will never be destroyed from the outside,
if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
Abraham Lincoln
