Here in the states A.M. radio stations had to evolve or go extinct. They found out that they had a whole niche audience of disafected older white people who they could easliy manipulate with right wing talk radio. Thus they adapted and survived and gave rise to the whole right wing media empire that dominates their enviroment. It's real easy to be a conservative these days. All your thoughts and opinions are given to you. And you just take it from there on faith. Because you know the left has a different melanin content.

The left is spoon fed almost from birth. Nice try though. And there you go throwing race out there again as usual.

yeah raise the interest and add a heavy percent to the people putting what they have to bail out the GOVERNMENT. the people are getting it not the government. which most have their saving in gold and silver or something else so they could care less as long as they take their money out of the bank. which leaves them still with credit cards and such, so they still get the advantage of being the one not to get screwed. hopefully it stays there.

It's the Cypriot Govts fault for being shit negotiators frankly, but claiming it'll become common-place internationally is ridiculous and deserving of aluminium head armour.

Because governments never forcefully collect wealth to send to the parties of their choosing.

I'm not sure why you're flaming here. This particularly interesting because it seems wealthy Russian's are going to bare a significant brunt. Tensions between the West and Russia are already high over numerous geopolitical issues.

So what? They are still going to learn a lesson.

I guess we will learn a lesson. Paul Ryan wants to get rid of a tax loophole called "the mortgage interest" deduction and cut medicare and medicaid.
In other words
Increase taxes on the middle class and throw grandma and poor children under the bus

Now you're throwing out the 'poor' card again. Is that all you can do?

Why would banks want depositors when it gets money from the central bank for free?

The EU has required a one-time tax of 9.9% tax on deposits of more than €100,000 starting Tuesday, as part of a bailout of the tiny nation. On Saturday, the EU unveiled a €10 billion plan to rescue Cyprus' outsized banking sector and avoid a default.

​

It was the first time that the EU has insisted on such terms for bank depositors as part of a bailout. The EU's bailouts other nations in the last three years, such as Greece and Portugal, have usually been accompanied with strict budget restrictions and led to big losses for bond holders.
[FONT=Lato, Arial, serif]The Cyprus Parliament is expected to vote on the plan Monday. If it goes through, people with less than €100,000 in deposits will have to pay a tax of 6.75%.[/FONT]

[FONT=Lato, Arial, serif]well finally the mid class and poor pull their money. so i wonder what this will hold for politics tomorrow for USA. thanks WW queen elizabeth will have to pay more for her phone call next time.[/FONT]

Are you intentionally being a "tin-foiler" or are you just simple?

The Cypriot Govt agreed to that as a term of their bailout, it's seriously uncool for them to have done it, but it was their choice.

Your suggestion that it's "coming soon to a place near you" is fucking stupid, no offense, but stop flicking your bean to Alex Jones and swallowing his NWO cock-dribble.

The government flat out stole almost 7% of anyone's bank accounts below 100,000 and 10% of anyone's bank account above 100K and you want a poster here to quit whining?

It is flat out theft as pointed out in the article...

 

[NLXSK1]

fear, paranoia and hyperbole is the only weapons the fright wing has

The left wing chants the sky is not falling until it does then blames it on Bush...

So what? They are still going to learn a lesson.

You actually be surprised, Germany holding the purse strings have been pushing the EU over to the right, from left to more centre right.

Their policies are working too, our stock exchange is on a 5 year high with our most recent 10 year bonds over subscribed by 2.5 times.

You know why they want to whip 6 billion from private bank accounts?

They don't wanna print money like they hit 9999 on the photocopier by mistake (like your Fed has done non-stop for the last 5 years).

You seem perfectly fine with the government of cypress using it's citizens as a piggybank to be drained whenever needed without notice.

I cannot comprehend that type of thinking.

I'm not fine with it at all, had it happened here there would've been "social unrest".

My point (that Iv typed many times) is that the Cypriot Govt sold out their people and it won't become commonplace, like the OP suggested.

Mowed many playgrounds recently?

Mowed here means "cut the lawn" with a lawnmower.

What do yous call it?

Btw, isn't Red AZ one of the biggest Govt tit states in the union?

we call cutting the grass with a lawnmower "mowing" too.

i was intimating that he is not so interested in the mowing aspect, but rather the plowing aspect. specifically, i was intimating that ANALEXCESSGAY1 like to plow small children up the ass.

AZ happens to be in the top 15 when it comes to sucking the federal tit.

I can see it happening in the US which is why I am outraged that it would happen somewhere else.

The American government is already looking at IRA's and 401K's and there is talk about the government buying them out and instituting a mandatory retirement program. This is simply a way for the government to loot hundreds of billions of dollars of American savings while promising an IOU of the type they have now used to completely loot the social security program.

The American government in the past has forced it's citizens to turn in all of their significant amounts of gold to which they were issued bonds because the government was running out of money.

I have no faith that when push comes to shove the same type of thing will be attempted here.

to be fair, your fantasy that romney was going to win, thereby giving you reams of text to laugh at, seemed at least mildly realistic compared to the chicken little dystopia you are positing here.
