b_have Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 That idea of the 'merkins to impose a 0.25% tax on all stock exchange dealings sounds like a good start to me. Let them budget for their own mistakes and greed. Great idea, even better if it were 2.5%. Might make dealers more reluctant to buy on sentiment and then short sell a few hours later to make a quick buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3DG3CKO ROB Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Surely they would decrease as it's hard enough trying to get credit for a house at the moment with lenders being a lot more scrupulous, plus an interest decrease would help encourage spending at a time where business' are feeling the pinch of customers with less money - meaning a reduced pressure to cost-cut by laying off staff which would've led to increased unemployment. No doubt it's a lot more complicated than that, just wanted to stick my oar in. I hope so, it does make sense... as long as mortgage payments don't start to sky rocket most people should be ok...
