Did you know that insider trading is perfectly legal in the United States? Well, not for 99.9% of the population. It is actually only a very small percentage of the population that can legally indulge in insider trading - the members of the United States Congress. In fact, a law that would ban insider trading by members of Congress has been stalled for years on Capitol Hill. So why wouldn't lawmakers in Washington D.C. want to apply the same rules to themselves that apply to the rest of us? After all, how are we supposed to respect the integrity of those "serving" in Congress when they are playing by an entirely different set of rules? The American people aren't stupid. They can see what is going on. The truth is that there is a reason why approval ratings for Congress are at an all-time low.

The whole point of Congress is that we elect people, one of our own, to represent our interests in Washington.
 
Congress has been a cesspool of bullshit for a while now. We need to start with a clean slate.
 
this is what you wanted, an all powerful federal government. remember how you liberals hate states' rights? this is what you end up with.
 
Not to mention that our government has stock in GM & C.....which they have direct oversight and regulatory influence.

No conflict of interest here.
 
You somehow believe the politicians in the government are special in that they can lead our lives better than we can...well they're special alright. They don't live by the same laws they make us live by.
 
I think it's safe to say we're all outraged by this.

Now we just need to figure out how to bring this message to the masses!

QUICKLY EVERYONE! TO ARMS!
 
Good one. Did you learn that one at school? If I go to more school can I learn some awesome comebacks like those?
