Why Are Politicians Allowed to Trade On Insider Information, Considered Illegal For Everyone Else? A Must See 60 Minutes Episode
Although some of you may have already watched this episode when it originally aired on 11/13/2011, I found this disturbing enough to post it on the blog and hope that whoever missed it, has another reminder to a must watch show. It amazes me how this is legal, and these politicians are making millions trading on information all of us would go to jail for, joining the ranks of people like Raj Rajaratnam,
Martha Stewart, and Ivan Boesky . It’s only a 15 Minute video, and will hopefully disturb you enough to put a stop to it.
