Dialectic of a Universal Transaction Tax
The European Union is set to move ahead with plans for a financial transaction tax despite British opposition, with a senior French politician saying the new levy will be in place by the end of year. Britain and Sweden are alone among the EU's 27 member countries in opposing the tax. The powers-that-be seem to use a tool called Hegelian Dialectic to manipulate public opinion. They set up two opposing camps and let a debate take place that eventually creates something along the lines of the authoritarian element that is desirable. 
Conclusion: Call the transaction tax the "anti-Internet" tax. UK Telegraph
