I don't believe in the merger between NYSE and German Bourse will help. It's just going to make things worse. Like they said, if it takes place, they'll have the biggest hedge fund and derivatives market in the world. These are the same people that got our country in trouble and U.S. government had to bail out banks. So much for free enterprise. On top of that, our government wants to cut funding on regulatory agencies such as CFTC, SEC and others. Republicans are pushing for less regulations and lower taxes for the wealthiest. Can you imagine, top hedge fund dealer making $5 billion a year & he only pays tax at 15% tax rate. Independent Senator Bernie Sanders gave an eloquent talk the other night on PBS's News Hour as to just why our country is in trouble. ABC is going to profile, after giving all those rich people all that money & tax breaks, they moved all the plants overseas so that one can't even furnish one's house with American made goods.
