So you need more staff to write down a larger fine on a piece of paper?

…yes? Because with larger fines comes larger court cases - and larger numbers of support staff.

Corporations have lobbied and purchased their way into these freedoms at the cost of our wallets and futures.

Don’t play thick. I too wish these assholes got prison time for this behavior.

You need the staff to enforce it...
fine = scale of crime x (number of ppl working at SEC/1000000)
How many bureaucrats does it take to type a zero on a fine?

In all seriousness, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool capitalist and I love the SEC.
