I am absolutely opposed. This type of classism will further promote the growing disparity within our nation. It is the antithesis of equality and cements the fast growing perception that America is a land without opportunity. There should not be a list of requirements to complete before having the ability to access investments in private securities.
The course of action proposed is starkly similar to the period of time in our history when voters were required to pass tests or own land in order to exercise the right to vote. The stated mission of FINRA is to protect investors by making sure the United States securities industry operates fairly and honestly. There is nothing fair or honest about the privilege that is exhibited when we default to creating barriers. The refusal to operate in a way that demonstrates the the stated mission highlights the nescience within an organization. Please do better.
