I Just read the Motley Fool. I believe that allowing mutual Fund organizations 
to consistently rip off its customers is the most egregious UN-American act of 
aggression against the American people that the government has ever allowed to 
continue. Allowing them to continue to make it seem as if they represent the 
good of the customer, yet, truly just trying to take their money is truly 
unethical, and dishonest and, in the long-term, not good for America.
     
Please stop this wholesale fraud against the American people. 
     
God Bless America!
