The Queen of the Tax Whores Calls
for [What?] Another Tax! Taxation = Prosperity!
“WASHINGTON, Sept 27 (Reuters) -
Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives are pushing for a new Wall Street tax that would cover the potential costs of a $700 billion bailout
being negotiated by Congress and the Bush administration.
U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
speaking to
reporters after a meeting with fellow Democrats, said the fee could be assessed
after five years if the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office determined
taxpayers had lost money in the bailout.
"If after five years ... the CBO decides that the American
taxpayer has lost money in this, then there would be a fee on financial
institutions," Pelosi said, adding that she hoped the provision could be
part of a final bailout deal.”--- U.S. Democrats seek Wall Street

I think
we ought to raise
oil prices as well!
Then, a good hefty CarbonTax levied by the UN and Al Gore
and his EcoNazis
ought to help out with the debt. While
we are being generous why not bail our California too!
