1. We need to get rid of all these congress critters, on both sides of the isle.
Vote them all out, and vote in non 1%'s.

2. Dood, Pelosi didn't make millions of dollars -- the MSM is decidedly anti-Democrat
What happened was, they caught a bunch of Republicans doing "insider trading", so the MSM is saying that both parties do it ~ which is a false equivalency.

3. On the whole, Congress gained 25% on their personal fortunes since 2008.
Only the Banksters and Wall St. did anywhere near that well.

Meanwhile, 30% of the population is living at, or just above, poverty level.
