Damon Silvers - Financial Speculation Tax News Conference
Damon Silvers, director of Policy and special counsel at the AFL-CIO, speaks at an April 15, 2010 news conference in Washington, DC in support of the Financial Speculation Tax. A broad coalition of economic experts, labor leaders, and consumer, development and global health advocates are calling on Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Congress and President Barack Obama to swiftly pass and enact a tax on financial speculation. The tax is a very small levy on financial short-term transactions, which will curb excessive speculation by big banks, but with a minimal impact on long-term investors. The news conference was sponsored by Americans for Financial Reform, Health GAP, Institute for Policy Studies, Public Citizen, Oxfam America, and Partners in Health.

FTT Conference_Panel 1 : Damon SILVERS
14.00 - 16.00: Panel I: “Putting the global financial transaction tax on the global political agenda. How and why?”
Damon SILVERS, AFL-CIO, Member of the US Congressional Oversight Panel, USA
People are angry at the global financial system and they have every right to be. The growing awareness that much of the financial market activity is socially useless has put the spotlight on speculators. The question people are asking is a simple one; “what do the speculators contribute to society?” The FTT resonates with people as that rare concept: a popular tax.
While addressing these political concerns, the first panel of international politicians and experts will be invited to comment on the international political agenda and answer some key political questions that remain open: Why do we need a financial transaction tax? What should be its main characteristics? Should the scope of the FTT be global, regional or domestic? And perhaps the key question people want answered; what will the money be spent on?
