Jun 20, 2018 Securities and Exchange Commission To the and Exchange Commission, We ordinary people have worked hard to save enough to even retire - without real pensions or healthcare other than Medicare. Thanks to the inability of the 'greatest' country on earth to provide basic human guarantees to tax payers. - people that are middle class or lower middle and so on -- even lower - are on the hook for all the inequality generated by globalism and our dark money political system. AT LEAST SEC could make the 'so' called financial advisors work in our best interest. VERY few people understand investing, the bond market, stock market, or anything complicated. They are easily snookered by the advisors. Look what happened to college students and for-profit colleges. A very big snookering took and takes place where the for-profit college in no way cares about the best interests of students. The SEC should protect us taxpayers, savers, workers - not protect the financial advisers. Close this loophole and ensure a higher standard than the currently proposed rule. Hold anyone who gives financial advice genuinely accountable for helping everyday Americans choose the best investments for us, our families, and our future. I don't want a standard that makes brokers and bankers richer. Sincerely, Ms. Karen Siracusa
