As long as things are objective and democratic I welcome additional diligence materials for investors.  

Now I have to wonder if Calvin was a Democrat or a Rebuplican or an independant thinker !!

Yes, he is a not democrat, according to dictionary.

So while the headlines claim that non-accredited investors are going to be "democratized" into having the capacity to invest I think it is unlikely many promoters will use the mechanisms available to present quality deals.

Many Democrats and Republicans I know support this idea. 

:@David Dachtera"The US is a laughing stock of the world."1) That is nothing more than the propaganda the Democrats wanted everyone to believe to dissuade folks from voting for Trump - an utterly failed attempt to intimidate those who might have been inclined to vote Trump, but it simply didn't work Full Stop.2) I've been all over the world many many times and I can assure you that no one is laughing, In fact, most foreign leaders went out of their way very quickly to congratulate Trump, and copiously so (including the Presidents of Mexico and China - the two countries with the most reason to potentially despise him).

The republican spend on defence, while the democrat spend on social programs.

However, the whole point of crowd funding is to democratize capital raising and allow mass volumes of small investors to participate in what was normally left to the private placement clubs.

With the Democrats taking over and the overall social trends, I expect these attacks to intensify and eventually succeed.

I was looking for what I thought were stable and growing emerging economies, democratic politics, strengthening currencies and favorable outlooks.
