"A senior administration official said the tax, which officials are calling a "financial crisis responsibility fee," would apply only to financial companies with assets of more than $50 billion. Those firms - estimated to amount to about 50 institutions - would have to pay the fee even though many did not accept any taxpayer assistance and most others already paid back their government infusions."  And you can be assured that this additional cost to the banks will be paid for by increased fees in the multitude of services we middle class Americans pay when we use banks.
