I've a better record of success than the most successful poker players. Is it ten years of good luck or the consequences of effort and skill?
Thus locking out all non-corporate investors from margin, prerequisite to options, prerequisite to risk mitigation and gains enhancement. The average investor looses the freedom to do much more than DCA a fund.
It'll never be passed in such a way. Legislation always favors the corporate and wealthy as they're the ones that write it. It's most perverse in finance and investment. There's been nothing favoring human investors since the breakup of Ma Bell.
It's totally inadequate to save the republic from the nearly-unmitigated, algorithmically-optimized capitalism that exists today. The biggest fish, corporations, would simply get bigger by eating their biggest threat: humans with a lot of resources, but not the most affluent.

This isn't:
legislate away most of corporate personhood
restore the Glass-Steagall Act
repeal the Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act
