Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The bill doesn't demonize the wealthy, it rightly demonizes those who use their public position to increase their personal wealth at the expense of their constituents, you dildo. If you are in public office to make money, then you should not be in public office.
Rick Scott of course knows this already, but I'm sure some of his constituents swallowed the lie hook, line, and sinker.
Also, does Scott think we shouldn't demonize other forms of insider trader? Seems like the country has cared about that for quite a while.
Rick Scott got his political start with the largest Medicare fraud in history of course he wants to continue anything that defrauds Americans and makes him money.
If you know anyone that works in companies involved in trading, you'll find out that it tends to be treated VERY seriously for the average American.
If you are one of these special people, though....I guess insider trading is just fucking fine.
Yeah, but that's been an old chestnut with the wingnuts forever - { someone criticizes some supposedly rich douche like Musk/Taco } - "Why do you hate successful people and hate the free market? These people are just really good at it!"
It floors me that "fuck off with your bad-faith nonsense, you lying piece of shit" isn't the standard rebuttal to that.
