Fk that, I am not going to give them what they want.

The first accounts that everyone should close are Futures accounts to punish these a-holes.

If everyone closed their Futures account for a year then it would be a beautiful thing.

I know what you mean but I really dont have any other alternatives. What am I going to do, invest in mutual funds and hope that the market doesnt have a meltdown like we just now are digging out of? If they screw up futures too then I am going to give Ben Bernanke a wedgy and jump off the top of the Citigroup headquarters.
All I need is Supply and Demand

if this get passed, I wonder what would happen to all the future contracts, like ES/YM/TF, even 6E/6B...?

pablo,
the legislation may be applied to all US entities that trade, no matter where they trade or who they trade through. This is because the last bollocks they did (fifo, hedging) was circumvented by doing exactly what you proposed and they are unlikely to allow that a second time.

The new rules would only have an impact on an outright.
