FDP - the patron saint of the stock exchanges and banks in crisis

Since its idea in a budget crisis, the tax cut, the FDP has been nothing more embarrassing. But now she has yet again surpassed themselves, namely the issue of financial transaction tax. This is indeed the purest rip off the citizens. Each bank transfer, for example, the monthly Transfers from a poor, poor Riester saver would be so taxed extra. As usual with the FDP in recent times, the argument is less heartbreaking than more harebrained. Who says that the financial transaction tax should be levied on normal bank transfers? Nobody, except the FDP.

This heavy lobbying from the fever could be good to Rainer Brüderle in the show Anne Will 30th May 2010 study. There selling the deputy national chairman of the FDP opposition to the transaction tax again with the assistance of Mrs. Will and guests in the studio, he would not tax additionally. Instead, it would be better to tax the bonuses and salaries of bankers. I must say that to tax bonuses and exorbitant salaries sounds like a good idea. This, of course, an additional transaction tax is not enough. Credit-control as a contribution to address the financial crisis and transactions tax to curb speculation. What becomes clear that the FDP here simply opens just a sideshow. In a strange moment of political schizophrenia are then Rainer Brüderle at Anne Will it be that such a tax makes sense:

"There is one area where they [the transaction tax] works, it works there, the computer trading and derivatives [... ] where it has effect. If they spread it to all, then pay [significantly to Mrs. Will turning] the bill of the financial market. "

Well then, do go. A rare triumph for a political talk show. Will take a politician to a moment substantive things to say. Even better, the words Brüderle are briefly before, when he then replies to that one but does not prove necessarily all bank transfers to the transaction tax:

"It depends on how it [the transaction tax law] embellish."

Man, that's one thing. You have to ask yourself involuntarily, who is currently in the government and to organize the whole thing make sense? It is, among other things, the FDP or is it the Hoteliers?
