Back to why they get rich. Easy, even though a law, The Stock Act, was passed in 2012, and signed by Obama,(surprise), congressman and senators were not suppose to be involved with insider trading on the stock market. Surprise, husbands, sons, relative's don't count. Feinsteins husband, real-estate magnet got the contract to sell millions of federal building and land years back! Look just last year at what happened with Pelosi's husband, buys a million dollars on the stock market a day before the govt. calls out that it might be illegal. And the computer chip share's he bought a week or so before the company got a govt. contract. That's just a couple of the big ones we've found out about. How many millions from kickbacks from local company's in a legislator's district? Martha Stewart goes to jail, a politician goes to the bank!
