I see that Rep. David Scott, a Member of Congress, wrote a letter against the approval of the IEX application. Could the reason he wrote that letter be because he received $60,100 in donations from the parent company of the NYSE, who is against the IEX application? Or who knows how much money that he received in his PAC from current exchanges? Or the over $400,000 he has received from the Finance and Investment industry?

It's a shame that a member of Congress is more worried about protecting the people who contribute to his campaign than the American people who are losing money and having less money in their pensions. The long term investors. The ones that the SEC said should be protected.

But I guess I shouldn't be surprised since Rep Scott was named one of the top 25 most corrupt members of Congress in 2007 by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).
