Wall Street owns the dems. This isn’t going anywhere.

That was exactly my first thought.

The rich will get richer, and the poor will get poorer. Congress isn't going to screw wealthy elites, because congress IS wealthy elites.

Perhaps Congress looks at it this way....

Yes, it is true that Dem Congressmen own lots and lots of stock and are supported by Wall Street but they get wealthy from the stock market the old fashioned way....They get inside information about future government actions and regulations and act on the information accordingly.

These nerds and techies are getting rich off the stock market through science, ingenuity and risk. These are not “honorable” means in the eyes of a congresscritter.

Graft and corruption are the only “honorable” ways to game the system.
