: : Wonder why protests are springing up all over the world? Read this article about how members of congress are padding their already huge (one percent) bank accounts by doing illegal insider trading based on secret information known only to our "leaders."
: How can it be illegal? Don't they make the laws? Would they make laws against their own interests? The answer is obvious.
Even if it is illegal, they don't care. It's illegal to sell their vote to corporate interests but they do it every day and nobody cares. The truth is they are above the law. That's just the way it is.
