"Kerry's economic proposals seem tuned to serve his wife's economic interests. His proposal last March to end tax breaks for U.S. corporations that do business overseas was designed with a loophole that would allow the H.J. Heinz company keep its overseas tax breaks and get a lower domestic tax rate at the same time."

I recall hearing (reminded of this today due to the Martha Stewart case) that if you look at the investments of the members of Congress they regularly outperform the index. Probably in part due to using their (inside if you will) knowledge of what regulations/laws/loopholes are out there and what in in the pike. Only bring this up to point out that unfortunately this is nothing new (but it still burns my biscuits).

These guys are suppose to be looking out for the best interests of Americans as a whole but this seems to be an antiquated concept.
