I recently watched the documentary from Blaze TV about our elected officials trading stocks. Every day I become more aware of the reality of my America is not what I thought it truly was in my childhood. It saddens me beyond belief amount of corruption both sides of the political isle has become. We the working class mules have to change this direction!
Politicians are request, assigned or placed on committees. Most of the time as already discussed in a previous post, the assignments are based of the amount of fund raising the person brings to the party. Well as we all can imagine, certain committees are sought after more than others. Examples: Homeland Security and Foreign Relations are two of the biggest committees requested. Us naive working class mules would believe they care about all of our safety! WRONG, its about Power and MONEY….. So, here is the low down on what is happening and has happened for a very, very long time!
Let’s say I am on the Foreign Relations Committee and in a confidential briefing I am told there is overwhelming evidence we the United States are going to send military weapons oversees to some country. I then leave the briefing and go buy stocks in the three biggest suppliers of military weapons. A month later it is announced each of the three suppliers have tripled the worth of the stock. I then sell the stocks and make 5,10 or even more millions of dollars. Does this sound legal or ethical? I feel the majority would say, a big fat hell NO. I would also point to many others going to prison for the exact same thing. You know a small thing called “Insider Trading”….
Well, most of our elected officials on both sides of the isle are doing it throughout most of their careers with no consequences. I guess that is not 100% accurate which I will explain shortly. Here are a few of the biggest criminals that are breaking the law! Nancy Pelosi, John Rutherford, Dan Crenshaw. Google, politicians net worth and you can go down the rabbit hole yourself. Now, this is why I said that I I was not 100% accurate. The politicians must declare the trades within 30-45 days or face a $200.00 fine for each time they are late or don’t declare the trade…. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! They can make millions of dollars and if they don’t declare, it is a lousy $200.00 dollar fine!
Let’s take a guess what would happen if one of working class mules did the exact same thing? Hmmmm, I can confidently say the consequences would be a hell of a lot worse then a $200.00 fine! We need to vote all of these Swamp Uniparty criminals out of office and pass a law banning this crap!
