Guru Huky correctly labeled the tax for what it is ‘More than a tax, this looks like a mini seizure of deposits. Someone likely needs a few million and to balance the books.’ The notion that a tax increase will boost the economy is of course absurd. But don’t worry, it’s only 0.03%, nudge nudge, wink wink … for now.”
