David,
I do want to be an alarmist!! I consider the Trader Tax a real issue.
My point in the postings is the fact that somebody on CNBC was presenting
an argument FOR the Trader Tax. HE was claiming the tax was benign. I am
saying that this is definitely NOT a benign tax and to contact your senator
and congressman to make sure that your elected representatives understand
that this will have a major impact on a number of people including me.

Ed,
I don't want to seem like an alarmist but the US income tax was considered
benign (1% of income) when it was implemented, the Social Security
contribution was also benign, (don't have exact figures but it was something
like 0.5% of first $1000 of earnings) as was the Medicare contribution. The
sad fact is that when a parasite attaches itself to the host it will keep
sucking blood, as it grows it needs more blood. Good parasites never kill
their host - the question is how smart is our parasite? Based on the
current spending I am seeing I consider paying more taxes as a "cure" is the
same as curing an alcoholic by giving them more alcohol. Consider any tax
that is imposed as the "initial offering" to get it passed, it will continue
to grow after it is passed.
