    I say NO to the restrictive, harmful and evil 10:1 margin requirement. Why is the CFTC
    trying to kill the USA Forex Industry? Why is the CFTC attacking low-income people
    and their right to make money.
    Right now, as a small trader I am able to hedge against inflation, supplement my future
    Social Security and avoid welfare in my old age. At a 10:1 margin I will no longer be able
    to trade. Because it means, I will need 10 times more money in my account than I have
    right now. Money currently used elsewhere to maintained my living. The 10:1 margin
    requirement for low-income people means greater risk to capital and no chance to make any
    money. In fact, the destructive 10:1 margin requirement will handicap all American Traders.
    Do I need to move out of the country or change my citizenship in order to make money in
    the Forex Market? Really, why does CFTC even needs to exits?
