Except that his newly offered amendment is not the same as the one which he offered previously.

Without further clarification as to Seatown's intent, I would prefer not to move forward.

Aye.  (This is a reluctant 'aye'... I hope to further resolve the tax issue after this passes or fails.)

Seriously? I proposed a very moderate amendment, the one that only taxes the harmful activities by the rich. It's really unfair for Atlasians to lose services when the rich are getting a tax cut.

You're characterizing financial transactions as "harmful activities"?

I have nothing against the financial transaction tax. I support your second amendment basically. We will vote on it in due time.

It's a % tax not a flat tax... The idea is to curb Wall Street.
