HR 4646 - Debt Reduction Act or how they will steal MORE of your money

I read the Snopes (which I increasingly distrust) and they call it a mixed true/false.  While this proposal IS from one Pennsylvania congressperson, and Pelosi is trying to diminish it's meaning, it IS a bill and if we have the continued representatives which rubber stamp the socialist agenda of the regime, it has a high probability of becoming law.  This is yet another reason to 'take out the trash' on November 2nd.  I went to another verification site and got the following.  I also recommend checking the thomas site or the actual congressional site for the exact wording.  The links are embedded below. I also believe that you should at least peruse the author of this bill's bio on Wikipedia for a clearer picture of what the bill would affect. Look for his other committee 'assignments' as well. Chaka Fattah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A Proposed 1% Tax On All Financial Institution Transaction-Mostly Truth!

Summary This is a forwarded email that says President Obama's finance team is planning to impose a 1% tax on all transactions conducted in financial institutions and that they plan to sneak it in after the November election.

The Truth:  There is a Congressional House Bill, HR-4646, the Debt Free America Act that was introduced in Congress on February 23, 2010, but we have not found any evidence that the bill is being snuck in by any finance team members as the eRumor alleges. The bill was sponsored by Democratic Congressional Representative Chaka Fattah of Pennsylvania and says that it is to "establish a fee on transactions which would eliminate the national debt and replace the income tax on individuals."  Fattah has a description of the bill along with a press release posted on his Congressional web site.  Fattah is a member of the House Appropriations Committee, not President Obama's finance team. The Thomas Library is the official site where legislative bills are posted and progress can be monitored. The bill can easily be found and currently the Thomas Library site shows that the Debt Free America Act is in the House committee and then will be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, the Committees on the Budget, Rules, and Appropriations.   Click here for the Thomas Library for text and status of the bill.   This is a single sponsor bill and speculators doubt its passage. The Debt Free America Act HR-4646 can also be found at the Govtrack US site, a civic project that tracks legislative activity.  Click for Govtrack.us information on HR-4646. updated 09/9/10
