Politicians don’t have to abide by the rules the rest of us do, despite the fact that they have access to important stock information before the public gets to know.

Do as I say, not as I do?

With the ‘knack’ for making money extending beyond stocks to things like real estate, you have to wonder why there aren’t more rules against self-service.

Oh, yeah, these are the people who write the rules.

And people wonder why the Occupy protesters are so angry and what their cause is about.

It’s a big ball of disgusting yarn, but it needs to be untangled.
