    Regulation of Retail Forex
    RIN 3038-AC61
    Comment:
    The government has no business regulating retail fx trading or any business activity for that matter. It is not only
    immoral and evil but also unconstitutional. A strict separation of state and economics in much the same as the
    separation of state and church was always implied in the US Constitution if not explicit. It takes an enormous
    evasion to deny that implication, thus the result is this and other thuggish regulations courtesy Barack Obama,
    Rahm Emanuel and their brain brothers in the past.
    The US Government would do well to focus its
    (&
    ultimately the taxpayers') resources sticking to its proper
    constitutional function. For a fuller discussion of what that function is, see: 'Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal' by
    novelist Ayn Rand. The United States would also do well to demand that Obama justify his authority to be
    President, given that he hasn't proved his eligibility for the office and hold him 'accountable' for this lapse.
    In Reason & Outrage,
    Aman Singh
