Call me crazy but I find it reassuring that CFTC proposes an "affordable" tax ( even at 6c instead of 0.06 c) with the same objectives ( get rid of HFTs... ) than retards in Europe with their 5-10 $ tax per trades. We can really have a debate with CFTC, at least they have done their maths.
The trouble is that once enshrined in law it becomes relatively easy to to hike up the fee to a level that is not so affordable.
It's just refreshing to see a proposal that wouldn't cause Financial armaggedon, I don't say I want a CFTC fee...
