SEC: Taking on Big Firms is ‘Tempting,’ But We Prefer Whaling on Little Guys

Matt is a great guy and I love his articles, but in this case I think he just doesn’t get it. Probably because he wants to hold on to shreds of hope that our government is actually for the people. The SEC is taking on the little guys and ignoring the massive criminal cases of the big entities because that is exactly what the people involved were hired to do! It is no coincidence, not related to fear or anything, it is simply because until the oligarchy gets the silly-assed laws repealed the oligarchy goes through the motion to create the smoke screen that our government actually has a purpose beyond (further) enriching the oligarchy.
Poor Matt! I wish I could offer him some uplifting advice, but I am quite sure things are going to get way worse before there is any chance that things will get better.
