Congress wants to create more jobs (adding to the government jobs it already created):

Small Traders Fear a Transaction Tax Would Wipe Them Out
By Alain Sherter | Dec 4, 2009

Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., on Thursday introduced legislation that would apply a “small” tax on trading in stocks, bonds and other securities. Iowa Democrat Tom Harkin plans to introduce a similar measure in the Senate next week.

DeFazio claims the transaction tax would raise roughly $150 billion in federal revenues. He would put half that money in a fund aimed at creating good-paying jobs.

Government has spent the future. All that's left is to collect the bill.
