Sorry about the massive thread-bombing, but I have questions and you guys are some of the best people I know when it comes to answers and tips

I have two questions, that are unrelated to each other:

1. What're your thoughts on the free migration of workers into and out of your country (eg. from a selfish perspective, from a national perspective and from a global perspective)? If it's too much of a bother to write out your opinions in detail then I hope you can at least point me towards some good analyses so that I can get a better idea of the problems

2. Taxes on financial transactions--yea or nay?





Please note that I'm not trying to start a debate, although you're welcome to hijack the thread for that purpose. I'm just wondering what the opinions are on this forum, as a first step towards getting started on my own education

peace
