I dont think everything is a conspiracy, but it is obvious corruption is rampant in US politics, and who in their right mind would think that that stops at leveraging special committee insider knowledge for personal gains?

No, that isn't obvious. You just think that because you believe that thinking this makes you cooler.

Hmm. Good argument. Look into how the revolving door works, or citizens united and it's after-effects... if you're interested in even just the bottom of the barrel to get your feet wet on the topic.

Like I said, you're making everything about money in a basic way you can easily imagine.

One thing that happens if you actually watch election results here is 1. the left candidates have more money and 2. it doesn't help.

[jatora]

You should actually make an argument for your case if you care to, rather than streaming baseless assumptions and dangling random comments.

Then why do they suck so bad at it? Why is Pelosi not a billionaire if they have such easy access to privileged info? Why do they barely do any better than anyone else?
