One of the biggest scandals in American politics is waiting
to explode: the full story of the inside game in Washington
shows how the permanent political class enriches itself at
the expense of the rest of us. Insider trading is illegal on
Wall Street, yet it is routine among members of Congress.
Normal individuals cannot get in on IPOs at the asking
price, but politicians do so routinely. The Obama
administration has been able to funnel hundreds of millions
of dollars to its supporters, ensuring yet more campaign
donations. An entire class of investors now makes all of its
profits based on influence and access in Washington. Peter
Schweizer has doggedly researched through mountains of
financial records, tracking complicated deals and stock
trades back to the timing of briefings, votes on bills, and
every other point of leverage for politicians in Washington.
The result is a manifesto for revolution: the Permanent
Political Class must go.
