# SEC as a Discriminatory Organization

## Quote

> 'So you and I are in agreement about this, the SEC being a discriminatory organization designed to keep the middle class out of wealth.'

— [[entity-grant-cardone|Grant Cardone]]

## Context

Cardone's on-record summary of the structural critique that pervades the entire conversation. Notable because it is the *host* — not the lawyer — making the strongest accusatory framing. Damsker assents.
