Reply #36: You seem to be a bit confused

[Vinnie From Indy]

Firstly, you offer that you will not take five paragraphs to refute what you consider to be nonsense and then you offer exactly five paragraphs attempting to refute my post. Nice!

Also, you keep writing that there is a "potential" that taxes levied against these banks will be passed on to customers. I am offering that it is a certainty that the taxes will be passed on to the consumer.

I made the point that if the Obama Admin. were truly serious about addressing the outrage against bank bonuses, they would tax the executives receiving the bonuses rather than the institutions as is being done in Europe. You ignored this point.

I also offered that if Obama were serious about reforming Wall Street and protecting Americans from another financial meltdown in the future he would push for breaking up the "too big to fail" banks and bring back regulations that would make it much more difficult for these banks to engage in the practices that have brought us to this point. You ignored this point as well.

Lastly, you offer that a complex argument is not needed to refute my point of view. Of all that you have posted so far on this thread, we can both agree that you have achieved your goal of not offering a coherent, rational or substantive argument.
