Sarkozy: Tax the banks!

[Aeon]

The United Nations General Assembly kicks off with a summit on the millennium development goals with the aim to cut world poverty in half by 2015. The three day summit on the millennium development goals begins with the sobering fact that the organization is $20 billion dollars short on the 2010 commitment. Webster Tarpley says he agrees with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who says in order to make some progress the obvious solution is tax the banks, the people who caused the economic failure.
