67% of Americans support bill to ban stock trading by members of Congress, even as Pelosi resists

You know how it all works right?

Decades ago I worked for a company owned/controlled by someone in another country. He greased the pockets of lobbyists who in turn greased the pockets of legislatures, and even indirectly flowed money to the President. Naturally, the only thing he wanted was legislation written to funnel tax payer funds directly into his business, and he got what he wanted. We succeeded in stabilizing the product, everyone got let go, and then he sold the company to another foreign owner.

This problem and many similar are all related. Legislatures and politicians have become filthy rich (emphasis on filthy) while simultaneously enriching corporate executives, even those abroad, ON TAX PAYER FUNDS, illicitly, unethically, wrongly, to our detriment, our expense, our livelihoods.
