More than 50 million U.S. citizens have invested in 401(k)s to secure their futures.
Also, there are millions of people in this country who agree that corporations should not be allowed to secretly pump our elections full of cash. However, there is no way to know if one's hard-earned investments are being used as a political slush fund by Corporate America to defund Social Security, Medicare and education or to further deregulate Wall Street.
The SEC can and should do something about it. The SEC can step in to stop Corporate America from using our retirement savings and investments as its covert political war chest. It should require corporations to publicly disclose their political spending.
Unfortunately, there is pressure from a small number of pro-corporate, anti-transparency groups to stall this commonsense reform.
Please top Wall Street from influencing our elections.
Thank you for your consideration on these matters.
