Would there be riots/civil war
How many people would be affected, 10-20%?Governments dont want to upset big number of people, rather tax big but small %
Most people in US have home loans, car loans..hence no deposits..then most people would be under 100k in savings
If somebody have 10 mil in the bank he would be paying 4mil in tax

How can cypriot banks stop bank runs?
they could place withdrawal limits but you cant do it forever,
confidence is gone and If I were to have money in cypriot bank Id make sure its all out and Id never bank with them again
