"small" investors simply need to stop being small by gaining leverage thru any means. Borrow from the Mob if you have to. How do you think Donald Trump gets out of bankruptcy every time? By borrowing by the billions to make many more billions. <br /><br /> Wall Street and big corporations own everything- they own the Fed too. End the Fed. Alan Grayson AND Ron Paul and many others in Congress want to end the Fed. That says something. Only if the SEC were packed with dyed in the wool socialists would they have the correct ideological bent to go after every single entity on Wall Street- lets be honest EVERYONE DOES INSIDER TRADING! and it is unfair to only go after the smaller fish. <br /><br />However, due to the big banks and corporations' control of the economy, any action against them would cause an economic meltdown. Now I say so be it. We can't remake the economy that respects Main Street and that has 100% American values of honesty, hard work, and fair play if the same douchebags still hold all the money. Simply put we have to burn the economy down to have it grow back on a more secure and fair footing. We have to burn down the forest to save it otherwise we will be in for a long and arduous dark age of Republican-style voodoo economics that favors the 1% and condemns the rest of us to serfdom.<br /><br />Obama isn't hope and change he is Republican-lite. On the biggest issues, he is a speech-making yet do-nothing poll-loving focus-grouped coward. That is the Bad Obama nobody voted for. Everyone voted for the Good Obama the one that waxed poetic about Hope and Change and promised immediate and big actions. Meanwhile the GOP dragged their feet, yelled, teabagged, and bellowed from their dungeons of ignorance on domestic issues and Obama has done virtually nothing about it. De Facto Obama has been ineffective so far on just about everything. Something needs to change. We need More Change and More Hope since not enough is happening on the economy, health care, and other issues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
