crisis tax on banks



The reckless short-term profitdriven wild or even cowboy capitalism of the financial sector as it is now being called is, among other things, what caused this current recession, so why should your average tax payer suffer the costs?
That's what ABVV(socialist trade union) chairman Rudy De Leeuw is arguing for and it seems he isn't the only one who feels this way.
Deputy PM Laurette Onkelinx of the walloon socialist party agrees and already has some ideas how this would be enforced, one of which is stripping banks of some tax benefits. Although there is a general sense of punishing those who are to blame they have yet to reach a consensus on how this should be done and even who, after all not every bank needed government help to stay afloat.

The reckless ,short-term profit driven ,wild or even cowboy capitalism of the financial sector as it is now being called is, among other things, this disrupts your flow and makes the sentence more difficult to read what caused this current recession, so why should your the instead of youraverage tax payer suffer the costs? this is not a very coherent sentence.
That's what ABVV(socialist trade union) chairman Rudy De Leeuw is arguing for --> strange verb. arguing for what? the reckless shortterm capitalism? You references are not clear enough and they may cause confusion and it seems he isn't the only one who feels this way.
Deputy PM Laurette Onkelinx of the walloon socialist party agrees and already has some ideas how this would be enforced, one of which is stripping banks of some tax benefits. Although there is a general sense of punishing those who are to blame they have yet to reach a consensus on how this should be done and even who should be doing it --> wrong ellipsis, after all not every bank needed government help to stay afloat. once again not very coherent! add 'because' before 'after all' and it would already be better!

Where is your source? Do this in an exam paper, and you will lose a lot of marks!
