That is a perfect example of the connection between the rigged economy that overwhelmingly benefits the people at the very, very, very top of our society and the corruption of big money in our politics. That's why We have to overturn Citizens United, pass common sense term limits, and make sure that we end the ability of members of Congress or the White House to trade stocks while they're in office.
