you mean when they are in office ,all their assets are not held in trust ? Sure they are. They trust their fund managers to listen to the little birdies that fly by and offer advice. Really darned GOOD advice.
But you know that... :^)

Peter Schweitzer’s “Throw Them All OUT” is a good book on this subject.
In Colorado, Jared Polis (D-Boulder) is the #1 crony capitalist bum, but Boulder doesn’t believe in honest government. The guy was trading on the Obama care Bill as it was being written in his committee.

Passed with unanimous consent. Means not one single legislooter stood up and asked for a recorded vote. All it takes is one. That means that whatever your legislooter says about it, he is lying. I’m severely disappointed with Cruz on this one.

Please tell us that you know that unanimous consent is nothing more than a voice vote. And any single senator can object to it and force a roll call vote, which is a much more difficult proposition for a deal like this.

When the revolution comes I hope it starts with the new government only recognizing federal laws and Supreme Court decisions prior to 1909.

Gee, is there any wonder most people hate these corrupt, arrogant, elitist, hypocritical phuckers? They shamelessly do this crap, then get all righteous when someone messes up on their taxes. Screw them all.
No, better yet, shoot them all and start over. F’ing holier-than-thou $ hitheels.
