I thought the whole goal here is to level the playing field for everybody, small and large investors alike. This smacks of discrimination under the guise of protecting people from themselves.
People are responsible for themselves plain and simple.
It's not the government's job to regulate how people choose to invest their money and the method by which they do it. I think not. They want to keep things status quo, with them hoarding the pie for themselves. But, that is not the way of progress and certainly not the principles that this Country was founded on.
