>Leaving us with a monopolized and duopolized economy that nickel and dimes working people and blocks them from participating in capital investment by labeling low-dollar trades as "pattern day trading" in 2001, for example:

wtf are you talking about? I don't see how that meaningfully prevents working people from "participating in capital investment". It only applies to day trades (ie. buying and selling the stock in the same day) on margin accounts (ie. you're taking out a loan to buy the stock). If you're doing that, chances are it's gambling, not "investment".
