mach's response:

Those that follow the Dems in Congress because they care about the poor is beyond hilarious. Of course Lazy Tom, Big Red and Fit Job will blow this news off with ease. They are loyal party members.

Pelosi....She got her cash like lots of them do....Insider stock trading.

Just go look at their stock holdings before they went into office and after their first term. NONE of us could manage to be that damn brilliant in stock trading. Schit...Pelosi actually got caught doing it trading Visa stock. Not a damn thing was done.

Fcking Kennedy's are poor as church mice.

Dems represent the progressive coasts, Republicans represent fly over farm land and trailer parks. No news here.

Racist.

Dirty little not so secret is that until this Congress was seated it wasn't illegal or the laws against it were never enforced or enforceable for whatever reason.
How did a two bit hustler like Rangel become a millionaire? A pest exterminator?

Any of them? They make 175 grand a year. Not bad for most, and by algores logic they're millionaires cause they would make that for 6 years or so. But no one else in their right mind would figure a millionaire that way, and yet many of them get there in no time.

Curious no?

No...this is what goes on in Washington...and a good bit of why I wish it would burn to the ground sometimes.

It's not their wallets I'm concerned with. It's their policies.

I'm glad we agree that their policies are a problem.

You don't get it do you? Both sides are shills for whoever is padding their wallets. If the wallets expanding, then someone not called you is setting your congress person's policies.

But I do get it. How is that any different than it's always been?

IMHO the biggest scam in politics is making the masses believe that one party is on your side while the other isn't.

Surprised to see ABC news cover this.

I could not agree more. So..Voting is really just getting to pick ones masters?
