Tuesday, February 23, 2010 — The alleged editor of this venerable institution just became the 29,330th person to join the band of merry men and women supporting the Robin Hood Tax. Granted, this effort is focused on Great Britain, a land whose monarch we renounced centuries ago. That does not, however, invalidate the concept.
Our mischievous readers might like to visit robinhoodtax.org.uk to give their own opinion. When last we checked, “Yes” had 61,322 votes, while “No” had just 6,097.
Do those 61,322 ‘yes’ voters realize that they will be the only ones paying the tax? The banks will not pay a penny. The cost of those transactions will be passed down to all of us through increased fees and lower yields.
They can make you feel, but they cannot make you think.
