    It is an international disease. All politicians all over the world are infected by this disease.

    Oh I know it. On the campaign trail, it is always "For the people, for the people, for the people."

    Once elected into office, it's always "For me, for me, for me. For what I believe, and screw the people."

    This is EXACTLY why we have the stalemate on Capitol Hill on stimulus. People went right out the window, and in came personal ego trips. Shameful.

    "
    If implemented, New Jersey’s financial transaction tax would be a flat-rate tax imposed per instrument, not per trade, meaning that a purchase of 1,000 shares would generate $2.50 in taxes. As we have noted previously, this rate may seem small, but it would quickly pyramid as the same instrument is traded—and therefore taxed—multiple times.

    Because the tax is imposed per transaction, the effective rate would be much higher on stocks that trade at lower prices—largely, though not invariably, associated with small and midcap stocks. The effective rate on the sale of a Berkshire Hathaway Class A share ($328,430 when markets opened on September 14th) would be 0.00000076 percent, while the rate on the sale of a share in Sirius FM ($5.51 at the opening bell) would be nearly 60,000 times higher at 0.045 percent."

    That has nothing to do with Kamala Harris's proposed transaction tax. That is a state-level thing that would not affect the CME, so your future trades are safe.

    Most articles that I find are about 0.2% for stocks, and 0.02% for futures. In EU these numbers are mentioned most of the time too.

    We'll never know until and if Kamala gets in with Biden in a few weeks.

    So let's say I do 10 roundtrips in a day of 100 shares of a $30 stock.

    What's the total ftt? $120?

    10 x 100 x 2 x $30 = $60000 x .002 = $120 if I got it right

    It is all speculation until we see actual text of the bill.
