How do you think congressmen enter as “regular joe’s” and retire as multi-millionaires? Can you spell “insider trading”? I knew you could!

Acts may have been similar, but Stewart was jailed for lying to federal officers.

Too bad the crooks in Congress are exempt from insider trading laws.

To the best of my knowledge, Durbin did the same thing. Does anyone know who all attended that meeting?

No wonder these critters in Congress stay as long as they can. They’re exempt from the laws they pass whereas you and I have to abide by them. Vote for a certain constituency the right way and hundreds of thousands to several million dollars end up in your campaign war chests. At the end of your Congressional career a cushy high six or low seven digit paying lobbyist position awaits.

There’s a reason that average people come out of the House and Senate as millionaires. It’s a ruling class thing.
