Question: Will Obama new tax to recoup money spent cause another financial crisis?

He even called bank bonus "obscene".We want our money back and we're going to get it. He looks like a madman
Those are taxpayers money: also banks and bankers corporate and income tax money.They are also taxpayers and had voted for you. Don't be mad with them.
UK banks would also need to pay more than 900 million pounds a year. Have their writedowns from the US sub prime mortgage crisis and their involvement in those Lemens structured bonds and
those bad US stock market traders not enough to pay back your bailed out money.
Please be resonable and sensible.

Answer: As long as he taxes the Auto Industry and Freddy and Fanny who has paid back zero dollars. Most of the people who are complaining mainly libs don't even pay taxes . Yes they have it with held but then at the beginning of the next year get a refund 3x of what most of them pay.
About 49% actually pay taxes in the US that leaves 51% who get back interests every years those 51% are the ones you see complaining all the time about how bad the US is. So when Obama says your tax dollars hes not talking about the majority but hes making them believe he is.
