I am a coompliance consultant for (mostly) small brokerage firms, which is waht the majority of registered securities broker-dealers in this country are; firms with fewer than 50 employees or contractors.
I have been trying to find a list of the things that will directly affect my firms and have not yet been able to find an official summary of every provision in this 2,700 page monstrosity. I am finding it more than disturbing...
What would it take to for the brokerage firms to go on strike?
Somewhere, some how, something has got to give.
We’ve marched, protested, phone called, faxed ourselves ...to our very deaths.
All our attempts at redress are met with their arrogance.
The laws are written and created in secret...behind closed and locked doors in the wee hours of the night. At times and places that are “inconvenient” to the people.
Why are productive people afraid to stand up for themselves? Are we so well “programed” as to allow ourselves to be run off the cliff with the rest of the pigs?
What will ...when will we say enough. When will we decide to stop producing in order to protect ourselves?
Is Freedom really just another word for nothing left to lose?
