  • GRRR 1% tax on all bank transactions HR 4646

    What next?


    1% tax on all bank transactions HR 4646 - ANOTHER
    NEW OBAMA TAX SLIPPED IN WHILE WE WERE ASLEEP.
    Checked this on snopes, it's true! Check out HR
    4646. (see below copied from Snopes)

    President Obama's finance team is recommending a
    one percent (1%) transaction fee (TAX). Obama's
    plan is to sneak it in after the November
    elections to keep it under the radar.

    This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any
    financial institution - banks, credit unions,
    savings and loans, etc. Any deposit you make, or
    even a transfer within your account, will have a
    1% tax charged.
    ~If your paycheck or your social security or
    whatever is direct deposit, it will get a 1% tax
    charged for the transaction.
    ~If your paycheck is $1000, then you will pay
    Obama $10 just for the privilege of depositing
    your paycheck in your bank. Even if you hand carry
    your paycheck or any check into your bank for a
    deposit, 1% tax will be charged.
    ~You receive a $5,000 stock dividend from your
    broker, Obama takes $50 just to allow you to
    deposit that check in the bank.
    ~If you take $1,000 cash to deposit at your bank,
    1% tax will be charged.

    Mind you, this is from the man who promised that,
    if you make under $250,000 per year, you will not
    see on e penny of new tax. Keep your eyes and ears
    open, you will be amazed at what you learn about
    this guy's under-the-table moves to increase the
    number of ways you are taxed.

    ~Oh, and by the way, you receive a refund from
    the IRS next year and you have it direct
    deposited or you walk in to deposit that check,
    you guessed it. You will pay a 1% charge of that
    money just for putting it in your bank. Remember,
    any money, cash, check or whatever, no matter
    where it came from, you will pay a 1% fee if you
    put it in the bank.

    Some will say, oh well, it's just 1%. Are you
    kidding me? It's a 1% tax increase across the
    board. Remember, once the tax is there, they can
    also raise it at will. And if anyone protests, they will just say, "oh,that's not
    really a tax, it's a user fee"! Think this is no
    big deal? Go back and look at the transactions you
    made from last year's banking statements. Then add
    the total of all those transactions and deduct 1%.
    Still think it's no big deal???

    I don't know why people quote "snopes.com" rather than go to the House web site for the real info...

    Yes, a radical leftist introduced such a bill, but it has zero co-sponsors and is going nowhere. Introducing a bill means didly squat without co-sponsors and leadership backing. It was dead before it was even printed and recorded...

    Listen to a leftist Democrat himself distance himself from it...
    Peter Defazio (D)

    We shouldn't let things like this that are just posturing get us all riled... We look silly to the political establishment and even to those in the right side of the isle...

        This is Rep. Fattah's 5th such bill since 2005. They've all had zero co-sponsors and none have made it out of committee.
