Right. It's good for the financial advisor to no longer be bound to work in the best interest of his client, but what about the client's reasonable expectation of not getting fucked over by the 'professional'?
Stop. Cui bono? Buyer beware. I'm responsible for my own choices. Everyone else is too but they won't accept personal responsibility and look to Uncle Sam for a backstop.
Boycott them. You don't need their services. You can get software to replace them if you must or just put in sell orders like @UncleBuck does.
Uncle Sam used to WORK for the PEOPLE therefore they 'look' to the government.
By protecting consumers.
You deserve to be conned.
Where's the accountability for our elected officials? I think that's a big part of the problem right there.
There seem to be a lot of Chump voters who didn't realize they were voting for the guy who promised to repeal their health care. They were just realizing what they'd done.. NPR just did a story and that was a recurring theme in it.
Not to mention anyone who actually cares about the environment.
There's a lot of people out there who think those trying to protect the environment are a threat to them and their jawbs. Lower middle class white blue collar without higher education, like coal miners.
The people using their government to create ethical laws is them taking responsibility. Imagine your neighbors or even several members of your family were scammed and screwed out of their hard earned money by crooked financial practices that were purposefully made legal to defraud consumers. Is that really what you want? Is that really in the public's interest? Isn't it the governments job to represent the public's interests, not crooked financial agents that buy politicians with campaign contributions?
It's only unfair if they're the ones who get screwed.
then they cry like little bitches and wonder how it possibly could have happened. eternal victim status.
It's a toxic brew; either eternal victim or schadenfreude...
