[Vision2020] The 1% in Congress

[lfalen]

Congress is getting rich off Wall street. See article by Peter J. Boyer in the November 21  issue of Newsweek. It seems that insider trading is legal for congressmen as pointed out in the new book( Throw Them All Out) by Peter Schweizer. Congressmen should be required to have all thier Wall Street accounts handled by some one else. Some do this but how do you prevent them from passing on inside information to those that handle their accounts? It seems that Democrats and Republicans are equally guilty.

Most of us would admire and encourage the former, provided that it is without heartless, overwhelming greed.  What makes the present situation explosive is that many of those with political/economic power turn nearly a blind eye to the latter.
