Last Sunday, 60 Minutes reported on a shocking loophole in our laws that has outraged me for years-and I'm sure it will outrage you, too. It is currently LEGAL for members of Congress and their staffs to engage in "insider trading"-buying and selling stocks based on privileged information that's hidden from other investors and the American public. Insider trading is illegal for everyone else, but members of Congress have free reign to engage in this behavior and profit from their roles as representatives of the people. It's unfair and it's wrong.

3. I have never understood how..

so many couldn't see what has been in our face for decades. They go to congress or senate, they are a regular ordinary whatever their profession is and when they EVER decide to leave they are a millionaire or billionare.

After they make sure they have set in place all of the laws so that they can benefit then they go work for the companies or industries they have given corporate WELFARE.

One example is Evan Byah he is one who made sure nothing got done for the AMERICAN PEOPLE during the healthcare debate along with CLAIRE MCCASKILL and many other lying ass bluedog/republiCON portraying Democrats then they have the nerve to say they don't give a damn because they are not running again or they just don't care they have filled their pockets.

They make the laws to benefit them their families,friends or certain segments of the country and the rest of us just need to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps when we have played by the rules,then they change the rules again or redistrict
