What's Angering Voters

While it's fun to talk about lurid personal scandal on the campaign trail, what's really angering American voters was on full display in a "60 Minutes" report on Sunday: the fact that we live under a "patronage" government that is enacting policies meant to fiscally benefit a few while ignoring policy with broader, more far-reaching implications.

Did you know that Congress was exempt from insider trading laws? I didn't. But apparently members of Congress are aware of the exemption. Yes, you can pick a person from the opposite party to target for your wrath (this Salon article goes after a Republican), but this type of unethical behavior is on display in both parties.

It is not illegal. But not every wrong activity is against the law.
