Socialist governments love it because it really sticks it to the military financial industrial complex, financiers —especially high-frequency traders — hate it for pretty much the same reason, and point self-righteously the drag and compliance cost it puts on a market everyone wants to be as slick and efficient as possible, and how it pushes transactions away from domestic markets to shadowy offshore havens.

Socialist governments love it because it really sticks it to the military financial industrial complex, financiers —especially high-frequency traders — hate it for pretty much the same reason, and point self-righteously the drag and compliance cost it puts on a market everyone wants to be as slick and efficient as possible, and how it pushes transactions away from domestic markets to shadowy offshore havens.
