Comments on: Chris Dodd: Wall Street-Washington Incest Personified http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/40090/chris-dodd-wall-street-washington-incest-personified/ Sun, 27 May 2012 12:27:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Waleed Raza http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/40090/chris-dodd-wall-street-washington-incest-personified/#comment-1500028 Waleed Raza Wed, 08 Jun 2011 18:13:00 +0000 http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/?p=40090#comment-1500028 Our virtues have a chance. While this case is obviously most meaningful to Messrs. Sivere and Demos, I believe it holds real meaning for all of us. How so? Let’s unlock the regulatory capture on Wall Street. Let’s aerate the stench that emanates from the Wall Street-Washington incest. I truly hope that the pursuit of real justice in this case will embrace the full truth, real transparency, and unbridled integrity so that those who care to invest in our markets know that the playing field is fair and level.  Our virtues have a chance.

This was not the intent of the founders.  THey must be on spin cycle in their graves.

I've said before that I believe we need laws which make it impossible for Congresspeople to make more than their salaries while in office.  That would mean no corporate contributions, either.  They need to live within their means like the rest of us.  No one is bailing me out and I suspect, you either. Congresspeople need to stop coming to Congress to become millionaires.  They should have to account for any extravagant increases in personal wealth during their tenure in office and if it is found that they have used that office to that end, they should be forced to return every dime to the voters of their state.
