Here's a simple question. A trader buys and sells cattle futures,on the floor,in Chicago.Some trades make money;others don't.That trader takes the profits and sticks them in one or two of his clients' accounts;the other people get a few dimes,or none,and ALL of the loses.This is against the law.This is against SEC and the CBOT rules and regs. Does the government have better things to do, than to go after this crook?
Good, bring out the Hillary question. I answer what a capitalist and a conservative would answer and you can label me a 'Clinton supporter'. Let me ask you a question. What is the point of the SEC other than to 'regulate'(control) trades? Why should the national government be involved in such a transaction? Why wasn't it involved before the mid 1930s? Like a true 'conservative', you advocate continued support of FDR, the man whose actions lengthened the Depression and gave us Social Security.
Of course you ignore Federalist 45 and what it states because you actually believe the national government has an interest in a purely capitalistic venture. The states perhaps but not the national government. Let me state clearly for the daft in the audience. The SEC should not exist. You want to roll back decades of government expansionism not laid out by the men who founded this nation? Start with government organizations and 'programs' established under the leadership of FDR
You can't fathom what a Republic would be because you would have little, if any, say at the national level. You wouldn't be able to worship Bush as you would be more involved at the state level instead of advocating alphabet voting at the national level. The Founders of which you so despise saw the detriment in what this nation of states has become.
You ask me who I would vote for? Someone that states this and actually follows up on it. I could care less who's 'in control' as long as they do what they promise and stick to the Constitution. I may be the lone voice out in the wilderness voting this way but every election I do my best to convince one friend, one coworker, and one family member of the futility of voting R vs D year in and year out. History has proven quite clearly R and D have not worked.
