Obama’s Bank Tax – The Victim is YOU!
Mike Brownfield /
So President Obama wants to slap a tax on banks, but should you really care? Absolutely. Those taxes are going to wind up costing YOU money, whether you’re a customer, a bank employee or an investor, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
As ABC News reports, the CBO wrote a letter yesterday to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) in which it highlighted that the American people will bear the true brunt of the President’s proposal. From the CBO’s letter:
[T]he ultimate cost of a tax or fee is not necessarily borne by the entity that writes the check to the government.
The cost of the proposed fee would ultimately be borne to varying degrees by an institution’s customers, employees, and investors.
