It would be a shame if it passed.
The Wall street TRADER has very low culpability, if any. There are a HUNDRED more responsible.
If it did pass, I doubt it would be long before being repealed. NY trading money would go outside the US and make the NYSE and Nasdaq ghost exhanges... until the legislature wised-up and said, "Oops... sorry, didn't mean it."
If the US passes this tax, don't be surprised if the tax is passed worldwide. In fact, it does exist already in some other markets. That makes it even more important to fight this proposal here.

They should just make it illegal for the markets to go down. That's what they really want. A market that perpetually goes up.
They tried to "make it so" with the housing market money-pump and irresponsible credit... look where it got us..
