Former Speaker of the House–and current Minority Leader–Nancy Pelosi apparently bought $1 million to $5 million of Visa stock in one of the most sought-after and profitable initial public offerings (IPO) in American history, thwarted serious credit card reform for two years, and then watched her investment skyrocket 203%."Progressive" elites are always enriching themselves while pretending to fight for "the little guy". Yet, upon closer examination, they miraculously get richer and richer the longer they are in "government" ... this despite having only a government salary. There is hardly an exception.
The revelation appears in Throw Them All Out, the new book by investigative journalist and Breitbart editor Peter Schweizer, which was the focus of 60 Minutes on CBS this evening, and which is featured in this week’s issue of Newsweek.
Sure, "all" political elites tend to have the same magical ability ... but only the "progressive" class of elitist is constantly grievance mongering and wailing about "the little" guy while on the other hand enriching itself using inside knowledge, influence peddling, regulatory regimes, and government money.
In the end though, must wish a pox on all their houses.
