More stupid politicians
I've been pretty busy lately, but I have had time to follow the news. I read an article today outlining how Mitt Romney made his money. Seems the golden boy made his millions by corporate raiding. You know, buying a healthy company, robbing it blind then selling it off. Almost always cost a lot of people their jobs. And Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes did an article on Insider trading by members of Congress. Seems it is not illegal for them to do it, but it is for the rest of the country. As we all knew, they play by a different set of rules. Almost every one of them went into Congress moderately well off and left multi-millionaires. You and I can't stack the deck this way, but they do and get away with it. You really need to pull this report up and listen to it. It will make you furious. It crosses party lines. It involves almost all congressmen and women.
