Specifically, Pete Ricketts, in the
governor's annual suck-up to showboat piety, the National Day of Prayer, urged:
It is fitting and proper to give thanks to God by observing a day of prayer in Nebraska when all may acknowledge our blessing and express gratitude for them, while recognizing the need for strengthening religious and moral values in our state...
Pete Ricketts is, of course, a wealthy scion of his family's business, TD Ameritrade, which strengthened moral values by
ransoming its customers' trades to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars per year to a Chicago high-speed trading firm that engaged in electronic "front-running"
in order to inflate the cost of purchasing stock by the amount it pocketed by intervening to up the price.
