when the news of the SPLC investigation came out some large investments companies announced that they were not going to honor their clients' request to make DAF donations to the SPLC and instead were donating to charities they chose. In other words, even though the money belongs to the investor (American worker) if the investment company does not agree with the investor's choice, the American worker's money will not be donated to the charity of the worker's choice.

What will it take for Americans to understand that once they hire a financial advisor, the financial advisor/investment company, not the American worker/investor has total control over all of their hard-earned money???
