You guys who are in favor of taxing the banks are (said with love) fools.

All you are doing is ensuring that you will pay more for everything in the future. All costs are passed on eventually. Economics (in my book) is not a zero-sum game, but its always funded (eventually) by the individual. Who else? (even if Obama says they will not pass it on)

So, tax the banks. Tax the corporate failures. Tax tax tax tax tax them all. In the end, YOU pay the tax. And people smarter than you (oddly, the politicians) laugh all the way to the bank while you feel better that the big bad corporate machine paid more taxes (which they passed onto you in ways you do not understand). Phuck me, the more I think about it, the more I feel like we really do exist in a Matrix.
