Equity Crowdfunding is in Need of Leadership

The American President's leadership is needed in a matter of removing an ongoing source of inequality which continues to disfigure both democracy and capitalism in America and worldwide. In many ways Crowdfunding is the embodiment of ‘The American Dream’. A dream of independence, self-reliance and freedom, without rules and regulations designed to keep people down. In both the UK and the USA government has expressed it’s explicit approval and support for equity crowdfunding. Yet two years on, in each case, the financial regulator – your SEC and our FCA – have sought to veto the will of the legislature. We need to ensure that the vested interests who prefer the status quo step aside at last and allow ordinary people to participate.
