    Dear Sir,
    I strongly urge you not to impose the proposed 10:1 leverage
    plan on retail Forex Traders.
    It would become a hardship for most traders I know. The
    majority of us earn a modest income from trading,
    not millions of dollars. For those traders that are simply trying
    to supplement their incomes, while holding
    other jobs, it would probably make trading impossible.
    Another consideration are the brokers and market makers who
    cater to the retail clientele.
    Most of them are small to medium size concerns that would
    probably have to close their doors.
    Laying off many employees in the process.
    This country was founded by people seeking freedom.
    And that ideal has blossomed. For hundreds of years people
    have been coming to this country
    to escape religious oppression, political oppression, ethnic
    oppression, and for a better life.
    I fear the implementation of this proposal might be opening the
    door to an era of financial oppression
    on the common citizens of our great Country.
    I am sure the likes of Goldman Sachs, or J. P. Morgan Chase
    won't even blink if this proposal is put in place.
    I urge you to ensure that our Country remain what it has
    always been, a sanctuary of Freedom.i0-001
