This shows once again that right wing politics isn't really about free market policies, it's about benefiting certain actors at the expense of everyone else.


I like how a firm using the government for advantages is portrayed as a failure of small-government ideas.

exactly

this is a great side-point to that comment

Wealthy individuals can qualify with the Securities and Exchange Commission as accredited investors. This means they can invest in more things and have fewer protections afforded to them.


the policy behind accredited investors is a type of consumer protection: we don't want poor people taking risks in investing

it's sold as a nanny-state behavior

what does it do? it creates different rules for the rich and everyone else, which gives the rich a decisive investing advantage

PROGRESS!
