Bill: Securities, Exchange, and Finance Accountability
Details
Submitted by[?]: People's Revolutionary Communist Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 3163
Description[?]:
| Without any regulation in place, the stock exchanges have been the happy hunting grounds of the few major equities holders whom own the economy lock, stock and barrel. The banking sector, slightly more regulated, is an industry eaten up by large finance capital. Reform is needed: the following proposals will create an independent governmental body which will impose regulation, provide oversight and have the authority to bring proven corporate criminals to justice. Everywhere the mass of peoples' real ownership in the economy is thwarted by big capital. As a result of any money seized from investigations or taxes paid in regulations will more than make up any shortfall in the budget caused by implementation of Article 6. |
