    It’s a class issue. Rich people are allowed to break almost any law they want with few (if any) repercussions.

    The Republicans do break more laws than Dems, but Dems break laws and get away with it as well. There are many well-documented cases of both sides using Insider Trading for their personal gain despite it being against the law.

      The only time rich people get burned by breaking the law is when it fucks over other rich people.

      No, they made insider trading legal for themselves.
