SEC

The GOP likes to relate how so many of us in middle america now have a stake in the stock market though IRAs, 401Ks and mutual funds.

We need to exercise our power and vote the insider boards out with our proxies, vote for congressional representatives who will not just feed at the corporate trough but actually represent the people.  

If they continue to cut away the social service safety net, gut social security and expect us to rely on our own work and investments - they need to be thinking about the individual stock holders if were to survive in this brave new ownership society they envision. If we return to world ruled by caviat emptor with no regulation we are powerless.
