Very simply put, our founding fathers had a knowing. A conviction that there is but one truth. We must not deviate from the path set upon in regards to perpetuating our conviction of the self evident truth that "all men are created equal ".
Equality in creation that dictates fair access and complete freedom to invest in any public stock .
Far be it just that a man be denied the opportunity to increase his worth based on the perceived complexity of the stock or the percieved or real lack of his ability to comprehend said complexities.
Equal men can not be equal if they aren't afforded the equal opportunity, regardless of their wealth, education, or societal status, or respective lack there of.
A world in which only an elite class can benefit from a public offering hardly seems fair. Great efforts have been made to ensure that stock offerings are above board. Sarbanes Oxley compliance mandates practices that ensure no unfair advantage exists and instills confidence of a fair market. Don't restrict public access to any potential investor. Respect my right to win or lose and my right to take financial risks of my choosing.
Its either a public offering or an exclusive opportunity for an elite class We cant have it both ways.
