I vehemently oppose restrictions on my right and the rights of my fellow man to invest in public investments.
The United States is the greatest and richest country in the world because of our freedoms and choices. Capitalism and freedom have raised more people out of poverty than all other systems combined. With our system comes winners and losers, but that has always been true. I ask you to allow us the freedom to succeed instead of forcing everyone to be equally miserable.
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.
