Abolishing the SEC: What It Means for Wall Street

The SEC is “an independent agency whose primary purpose is to enforce the law against market manipulation.”

Market manipulation is “conduct designed to deceive investors by artificially affecting the price of securities.”

The SEC was created in the aftermath of the 1929 stock market crash.

And who better to be its first chairman than arguably the greatest market manipulator of all time?

Joesph P. Kennedy Sr.

As chairman, he oversaw corporate financial disclosures, investigated investors, and propagandized Wall Street’s newfound safety, therefore, helping Wall Street regain its losses.

But I think we now have more than enough evidence to justify abolishing the SEC than had ever existed to justify creating it in the first place…

Abolishing the SEC would save taxpayers money.

The SEC’s 2023 budget is about $2 billion (Biden requested $2.4 billion).
