Rule Comments,
I am a senior and semi-retired, depending on income from retirement accounts consisting of American and international stocks and bonds. As an investor, I wish to express my concerns for the business practices of the companies that I have bought into. I think it is the right and responsibility of all American investors to be able to weigh in on the moral and environmental aspects of businesses that they are invested in. In this era of greed and irresponsible behavior, we cannot ignore how big business treats labor, human rights issues, and the environment. The shareholders in these businesses are, in part, owners, and must be given the power to help steer them in a responsible direction.
