Check it out, it shows Personal Finance information. Money that none of us could ever dream of. And these are ELECTED GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS. Most sources I could find say the Max GOVERNMENT SALARY they receive is a mere $250,000.. but our elected officials rake in wayyy more cash than that.
It's also easy to see that most of these politicians have stock in companies they have voted to bail out, include JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs... among many others.
HOW IS THIS NOT AN OBVIOUS CONFLICT OF INTEREST?
Watch the video. Inside Job.
