New Forex Threat...from the UN!

[ezrydn]

The United Nation Gen. Assy. is thinking of taxing you and I on Forex transactions.

Scroll down to bottom of page 4.

I didn't vote for anyone in the UN. Why do they think they have the right to tax me? Maybe they should read our Declaration of Independence, the part about "taxation without representation."

From the story..."A 1 percent tax on billionaires around the world. A tax on all currency trading in the U.S. dollar, the euro, the Japanese yen and the British pound sterling. Another “tiny” tax on all financial transactions, including stock and bond trading, and trading in financial derivatives."

If you think there's nothing to the story above...and you're a US trader, maybe you should read this.

US political articles get so funny close to elections that I no longer can tell the difference between FoxNews and TheOnion.

If it weren't for FoxNews, we'd only see pablum stories from main stream media. Fox had the Benghazi terrorist attack story a week prior to everyone elses "it was the video" lie. That, in and of itself, places them a few steps above the Onion. Or, did you not notice that no one else ran the UN tax story? You need to ask why? Or, is paying a "per trade" tax to the UN ok with you?
