The bill was introduced but didnt make it far as you can see so cannot worry about things like that. One of the supporters was Kucinich, he is a whackjob as it is. So It was introduced and then didnt make it the rest of the way.

Yup didnt get anywhere, anyone can introduce a bill
Yea it sucks to think about and worriesome if it gets farther but as of now and all I read I doubt it will come to frution. The link I posted below was from a bill I found a few years ago from the us saying it will withhold all money to the un until it makes sure the un is not engaging in any tax shcemes. It mentions airline tax among others including the tobin tax on currency transactions. So the us has a big fat no on this. and Biden is behind it as well Which is good since he will be in office.

your advise of not worring about the tax now (because it did not happen yet) is
similar to suggestion to set up stoploss only AFTER the loss already occurred.
it's like buying a gun after you're already killed.
negating the preventive measures is mother of all vices, IMHO
it does not matter that the probability in this particular time frame is less than 50%. it can jump up momentarily, as per Black Swan principle.
stay alert! give them to know before it's too late. you could never underestimate the stupidity, that's why common sense does not work.
